I almost never use a capo
When I break down and use a capo the Dunlop trigger works fine. I mostly just use it on acoustic when I sing my kid bedtime songs. It also is great for doing setups. Capo at fret 1 to check neck relief...

Works great with my acoustic
I have two different capos. A Kyser and this. For whatever reason, this one works extremely well with my acoustic...yet I always have trouble with it on electric guitars. Either way, I don't know what I would do without it!

It works. It's a simple tool, with a simple design, but it works well.
Comfortable grip, and the spring resistance seems to be just the right balance between "uncomfortable to squeeze" and "my strings are out of tune."
It's all you need.
Rests on the strings perfectly giving the tone you would expect from a good capo. Play riffs, arpeggios, fingerstyle, chords whatever. it's all you need.
