Good entry level, simple interface!

This is a good reliable piece of gear. It's there, it works, you plug it into your computer, plug a guitar or a mic into it, set the levels so there's no clipping, plug headphones or monitors to it, and there you go. There are a few cons to it though. First of all, there hasn't been a driver update in a while, so running it on Win 10 may be unstable, I tried it though, on FL Studio 11 and it worked. It DID give me trouble with USB 3.0, it seems to be incompatible, so if that's your only usb input you're fucked. Also, I would have loved for it to have a level indicator, like a bar kind of thing, it just turns on a green light when it detects a signal, and a red one when it clips, I would've liked one of those graphic indicators that go from green to red like I've seen on other interfaces.

It is a good interface, and as I said before it's just one of those pieces of gear that just sits there and works once you have it set up correctly.
