New Speed Stacks Timer (v4)

I'm probably gonna get this. My old timer is dead, and this one is a nice incremental upgrade without introducing something stupid. Also, it looks incredibly cool.

The WCA mat looks godawful though, I'll probably get a different one of those.

I think that this will be an awesome timer. The curved screen and angled pads make it look really futuristic!

Yeah! I wonder if this Voxel Glow mat will become the new standard mat design? The pads kind of look like it.
Also, checking SpeedStacks.com, they seem to be selling Voxel Glow mats as standards, which is weird. Maybe trying to get rid of them before this release?
 
Just got mine, the display is really crisp and the curved numbers don't take much time to get used to, you don't really feel the "inward" facing of the hand posture as most people seemed to think you would from the pictures but the side of the sensors closer to the fingertips slopes down a little. This feature is really ergonomic and seems to give a more relaxed start to solves by allowing the fingers to bend slightly as you start the timer instead of being completely flat. The five small rubber feet underneath also grip very well. The lights do not blind you unlike the QJ timer lights.
 
It's like the same as the v3 except the angled hands, which would be different and might cause an advantage or disadvantage. I don't think it should be added to the regulations

There are other significant changes, such as the type of battery, and resets/hitting the power button being harder to hit. The angled pads aren't a huge deal I don't think.
