I got the Flashmiibo Pro OLED. The version delivered is actually the Pro 2 (second generation). It is the only Pro version being shipped via Amazon at this writing. It is easy to tell the second from the first generation as the second generation has 3 buttons on it. Let me tell you, those buttons make the unit far easier to navigate than previous iterations.
In my experience here are the pros and cons.
Pros: I have limited brain capacity due to COVID. I was still able to get it set up with the help of the discord community. I think I read the very thorough instructions 20 times or more. I watched the couple of videos available and still needed the community. If you are of even half a brane you can probably figure this out on your own. I certainly would have been able to do it pre COVID. Yes, this is a Pro comment as the community really shined and was very patient with me.
When the unit ships, the package was plenty sturdy to protect this tiny unit.
The OLED screen is fantastic, especially when you think about other versions having no such thing as several lines of text in the menus.
So far I am only using mine for Tears of the Kingdom. I bought the card set for about the price of one amiibo and got them all, BUT, they are so tiny they will be very easy to lose some. Not so with this unit. It is very small, but plenty large to not get lost easily.
I don't remember exactly how many amiibos are out there for all the games, but this unit has plenty of room in it for thousands of them. There can only be up to 100 per list, but as far as I can tell, there are unlimited lists and it is easy to set them up and to use them. It is all in the instructions.
I keep mentioning the instructions. They are not included in the package. There are instructions for downloading them from online. It was easy and the print was easier for me to see anyway.
The poor ratings you might find for the lanyard that comes with it problem certainly didn't apply to my unit. The lanyard is securely placed and it sure doesn't look like I am ever going to have any problem with it.
I believe the unit was designed in the USA, built in China for them and shipped to the USA for distribution. When you order from Amazon it is delivered quickly.
My older laptop had no problem at all connecting via bluetooth.
You can use this device with PC, iPhone, or Android. I think Mac, too.
Cons:
It is a little small. If you have clumsy fingers, you will have to be careful to hit the right buttons. Still, it is far better than other styles of similar product. I didn't try, but you might get 8 of these in a cigarette pack.
I think they are difficult to find in the UK and maybe a little pricier. They are working on this.
The unit will not communicate with your PC or smart phone via the included USB cable. It is for charging. Bluetooth is fairly self explanatory if you just follow the prompts for your device.
Overall, am I happy with this purchase? I am thrilled. It is working perfectly and sure makes playing my Switch more fun.
