PWM present on most modes though fairly fast and mostly unnoticeableOscillating temperature regulation on turbo modeClip is a friction-fit, unidirectional, and not deep-carryTailstanding is unstable due to cutouts and switch cap designOutput may not fully meet manufacturer spec at sustained turboSome users prefer Anduril UI available on Pro variant
