PageFlip Cicada Review

Purchased the PageFlip Cicada from amazon.com for USD79.95 so that I can use it with my iPad for flipping of my sheet music with my left foot while both my hands are occupied playing the piano.

The PageFlip Cicada does exactly what I bought it to do: flipping the sheet music in forScore app.
I can simply pop in 2 x AA rechargeable batteries into the PageFlip Cicada, power it on, connect via Bluetooth to a PC, Mac, iPhone, iOS etc, select the mode of flipping I desire and I’m good to go!
The build quality is a bit on the flimsy side since it’s just plastic, but it’s definitely cheaper than buying a USD119.95 AirTurn BT-105. There is also slight clicking sound when the pedal is being depressed.
