5 stars! As I said in my review of the "regular" version, this is the best clock out there IMO. This is the "touch switch" version, which some people like and some people don't like. The reason one might not like it, is you cannot hit the button with the piece after you make a capture. It needs the heat of your finger to actually register. A lot of blitz players are touchy about that, but it's no big deal to me. I have the touch version myself and I love it. Also it doesn't have that loud clicking noise when you hit the button (but you can set it to beep). Really, it's just personal preference between the 2 versions, and they are both great.

This was my third chess clock. The first just could not stand up to the fun of rowdy blitz play, and broke within weeks. This just keeps on ticking and ticking. Me I went with bright yellow with black buttons. Bright yellow so I can see it quickly in the room. Black buttons, because really, blitz needs to be a bit noisy!

I found out about this wonderful chess timer from one of my friends. When I found out that I did not need to hit any buttons and levers and only touching the metal pad to indicate that my turn is over, i was truly amazed.

This is by far the most reliable clock out there. I've had many clocks all of which have had many pros and cons(like when I accidently drop it, it would break), but with this clock, there are no cons. If u throw it angainst the wall the wall would break, not the clock. I have ordered 5 for my team and I was amazed with the reliable touch-pad/sensor. You should really get sample one of these clocks.Plus you save some money when u buy it from wholsale chess!!

I have this clock and I love it. Since it makes zero noise (if you turn the beeps off) I wish everyone in a tournament hall used them. All the random clicking in a big tournament can be annoying when you're in a tight spot.

if you only go to clubs and do blitz games they have a smaller version with buttons that I would say is better suited for that scene.
