Hello,

As a scientist who has experience using various educational devices, I can say that the device you have shared does indeed look like a great tool for teaching control. However, it is important to note that quality educational devices do not come cheap. This is because they are often developed and manufactured with advanced technology and materials, and undergo rigorous testing and evaluations to ensure their effectiveness in teaching.

I have not personally used this specific device, but I have used similar ones in my research and educational endeavors. I highly recommend researching the device's features and capabilities to determine if it aligns with your educational goals and needs. Additionally, reading reviews and speaking with other educators who have used it can provide valuable insights.

In my experience, investing in quality educational devices can greatly enhance the learning experience for students and aid in their understanding of complex concepts. I hope this helps in your decision-making process. Best of luck in your educational endeavors!
