I really enjoy the convenience of smart lighting and devices, and a key part of that is physical controls like this button. It's simpler and easier to have the control for what you need where you need it rather than having to open an app or yell at one of the increasingly unreliable voice assistants.
The button is magnetic, and also comes with a separate magnetic base - a small disk the size of the button, not the full plate in the product image.
I have it stuck the the metal leg of my desk so I can turn the lights on and off as needed. It's responsive, reliable, and it's easy to define what happens when I press it, so if I move it or change the lighting it will continue being a useful little button.
It's decently priced if you're already comfortable with paying the premium for smart lighting. It only works with Hue product as far as I know, but since Hue has been the most reliable smart lighting I've used to date, Hue is most of what I use that it could control, so that's not a problem.
