Works as expected

Good value for money. I2C addressing is straightforward. Wish it came with soldered headers by default.

Perfect for prototypes

Cheap and effective. Allows me to test touch interfaces without designing custom PCBs. Fast shipping too.

Good sensor, minor learning curve

The hardware is solid. Took some time to find the right library but works well now. Calibration is key.
