As far as power strips go this one happens to be really nice looking and well made. The power switch is slightly recessed which is great for me as a musician. I can't stand brushing over the power switch and having my whole rig turn off. There is no perfect way to layout the power receptacles on a powerstrip, but thank goodness this one has sideways outlets instead of inline. When you are using a lot of wall warts you need sideways outlets and this is all that. Can't be perfect , but this is very close. Overall an excellent buy. Very convenient to have a group of USB power ports at the end. We can't get enogh of those these days.
