@blowupjames here : Got 4 of these for my desk/DAW station. Now I keep drumsticks right next to my mouse and trackpad. Easy-peasy.
Have a look, if you like: https://youtu.be/oYSawvuvJWg
Please keep in mind, this is just one guy’s opinion – Here’s a review after banging on them for about 1-month:

Drop in/curate some nice one shots, aaaaand you got a drum set feel mounted directly to your computer spot/DAW. Nice! Easy sample navigation through the toggle buttons on each pad’s face. 4 USB connections go right into the DAW.
I put one on the ground as a kick trigger. Although it’s not really designed for that, it works great (for me). Granted I’m not trying to stunt, or do anything that will make me break a sweat..
Sticks hit much harder and trigger a harder velocity than my foot tap, so I just bump up the kick sample’s gain in my presets to balance it out, and let the compressor do the rest.
At the lower buffers (on my system), I don’t hear or feel any latency at all. I use quantize to tighten my hits, or do some specific dragging in the midi editor.
Main uses so far have been click tracking – noodling some hits at my desk between webpages – jacking grooves at BPM – extracting kick triggers for dragging around on a midi bass track – then copy paste for roughing out arrangements. After that, I usually go to the other instruments, or drop in some loops, etc…
In summary, it’s great to have a drum kit up in that DAW like a wedgie – Straight up – Very convenient product. I keep mine ‘always on’, and I use them a lot because they’re literally right in front of me at my computer station. I’m beyond bad at fingerdrums, so these bitmis are a game-changer for me, personally.
Plus, I live in an apartment, so now I can tap that at any time. Headphones are nice, but I usually go at it right into the big Mackies (37Hz – 22kHz) coz you know, that low end feel niiiiice…
***** 5 stars, I’m very happy 🙂 Shoutout to Diego @bitmi for cooking it up – hooking it up!!! Thanks!!

I bought it for my nephew, but he seems very happy with it. 30 dollar shipping seemed a bit pricey.
