Ideal for weekend matches between friends/family: press RESET to clear time, then press Player 1’s START/PAUSE to begin—no manual mode adjustments. The 15mm round buttons are easy to press even in intense moments, and the dual screens clearly show each player’s remaining time (avoids disputes).
Lightweight (220g) and compact (193mm×130mm×54mm), it fits into school bags for inter-class competitions. The durable ABS shell withstands frequent use by students, and the optional blue backlight works in dim classrooms.
• Streamlined Shape: Smooth edges (no sharp corners) for student safety; thin profile (54mm) saves storage space.
• Large Buttons: 15mm rubber-coated buttons (Player 1/2 START/PAUSE) with obvious feedback—reduces misoperation for kids.
• Dual Screens: 1.2-inch LCDs with clear text (visible from 2–3 meters, suitable for small venues).
• Shell: Thickened ABS plastic (2mm)—resistant to scratches from books or backpacks.
• Base: Lightweight plastic with mini rubber pads (prevents sliding on desks without adding weight).
