So far, I like it. This is replacing a plastic one that broke. This one is very sturdy. It's going into a mobile rack that I use for livestreaming, and it needs to be able to take a bit of movement. The previous one bent and then broke over the course of a few uses. I do like that this one can swivel out, even though swiveling requires two rack screws to be removed. Due to the way my equipment is installed in my rack, this rack unit is installed upside-down. But it still seems very solid and safe. I'm not worried about it at all. Read more

This bracket fits any Mac Mini Desktop - I have a 2018 model sitting in the bracket and it fits perfectly. The powder coating is nice and thick, so it will survive removal and a bit of bashing around if you're so inclined to rearrange your setup. The best part is the tab slots on the mounting area for the mini - they provide positive holding force as well as providing area's for venting. This was a five minute from box to rack setup. It came with all the mounting hardware, including captive nuts for the rack rails. Prior to getting this I was using just a rack shelf and it was a pain, this setup has totally cleaned up the look of my home lab rack. This is a must buy if you're using a Mac mini desktop in a rack configuration. Read more

My mouse and trackpad are literally right in front of the MacMini and still gets jittery at times. I can't use the mic on my AirPods or AirPod Pros because the signal is too weak. Read more
