There’s only 2 ways Overlays could be worth purchasing:
- The Overlay can be customized in ways mentioned above, which they can’t.
- The Overlay is ideal and perfect for the person/app as-is, which they mostly aren’t.
If I were sensel, I’d enable #1. For an app that allows so much customization, this is a no-brainer.
Another major factor – there’s dead zones around the outer edges of all Overlays (less sensitive due how it’s made) making any smaller outer pads unpredictable and of limited use:
Note the yellow highlight areas – they aren’t precise enough for anything other than on or off buttons. However, if those outside areas are part of a larger Pad/Slider (like in the first photo attached in this thread), the unavoidable inconsistencies of the edges aren’t near as problematic.
