Review: Good quality, comfortable, easy to use, and durable (have had for over 3 years) - I really like this tally counter and bought a second one to use in a different location. It --is accurate with a beep to confirm a successful press, --is comfortable to hold and easy to press the low-travel, moderate-resistance buttons, --is easy to operate the basic functions (press any button for on, the large button to increment, the smaller button under it to decrement, and double-press top right button to reset), --has large 3/8" digits that are easily visible in either bright or low light, --takes an LR44 battery that lasts a long time and is cheap to replace, and --it's durable (one has lasted over three years with constant use and still works fine). It's made in Taiwan and is made by a company that specializes in timers and counters. Based on my fairly extensive research, it's the best available apart from very expensive specialized ones. Here are a few details: --It's roughly 4" long by 2" wide by 1/2" thick size and has curved sides that allow it to fit very comfortably in my hand. There are five notches or ridges on each side to help prevent slipping and a lanyard so you can let it hang on your neck if you get tired of holding it and don't want to put it in a pocket. It's plastic but feels solid and doesn't feel like thin, cheap plastic. --There are four buttons. The larger, 5/8" x 1/2" black main button is plastic and the three others are gray and seem to be silicone. So it's very difficult to accidentally hit the wrong button and miscount. All the buttons are low travel and have just enough resistance so that you won't accidentally press them but don't require so much pressure that your fingers tire (unless maybe you're doing many hundreds or thousands of presses in a short time). --Operation is very simple. Pressing any button turns the counter on. Pressing the big plastic black button increments the count. Pressing the smaller gray silicone button under it decrements the count and is useful if you need to correct an accidental press. A double press of the small gray top right button resets to zero. The buttons are clearly marked with symbols or words if you need help figuring this out the first time or need reminding. I'm pretty bad at figuring out how to operate devices and managed to figure this one out just by fiddling with the buttons. --There are some more advanced operations you can access with the buttons. You can turn the display off with a double press of decrement (-) button. But the LCD display is low power and there is a 2-hour auto-off, so I don't bother. A long press of the increment (+) button silences or restores the beep sound. The beep isn't obnoxiously loud and I find it useful to confirm a successful press, so I just leave it on. There are a few more advanced functions, but I couldn't figure out exactly what they are even after reading the instruction sheet. --It has a 7-segment LCD display with letters that are 10mm (3/8") high. The numbers are very visible, even in bright or very low light (under 0.25 foot-candles) but not in the dark. The LCD display uses very little power so the battery lasts a long time. --It takes LR44 batteries, which are cheap ($1 each for name brand and as little as 20c for no-name brands in bulk) and easy to find. I haven't had to replace the batteries on either of my counters, one in over three years with maybe 20k presses). It has an auto-off feature to conserve batter life and you can also turn it off manually. --It's more expensive than most other tally counters by a few dollars but I think that's justified by the design, build quality and durability. (I have two that still work, one after 3 1/2 years.) --You can buy a two-pack and save a little money. They also make a dual tally counter (model TC-895) and a dual timer-tally counter (TC-875, so-so ratings) and a countdown timer (TC-820), all with the same form factor. I'd recommend sticking with a single-function model unless you really need the other function combined with a tally counter in a single device because you may sacrifice easy of use. --Typical uses include counting laps, number of finishers, occupancy, inventory items or even prayers. There are also unconventional uses like counting number of glasses of water you drink in a day (if you have a problem with getting sufficient hydration). You can also use it as a time-management tool along with a Pomodoro or study timer that beeps after each 30-minute (or whatever length) study session so that you have a count of the total number of sessions and thus total time spent. --Most handheld tally counters seem to have a thicker, more rectangular design compared to the thinner and more elongated design of this one, and many have mechanical buttons with a larger travel but don't require a battery. I can't say which is more comfortable. If I needed a tally counter for hundreds or thousands of presses during an event, I would check out which design is more comfortable. If you have a large budget or are using a counter for business use, you might look at the TallyFi Cloud Connected Counter, which has wi-fi connectivity and analytics, but it costs $600 per year for the least-expensive configuration.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you turn it off?**
A: There's no turn off button. stop using it and it will go into sleep mode after a while. However, the battery last forever. I am still using mine from 2017.

**Q: What does hand pitch mean? Does the counter sequence when the device is pitched or tilted?**
A: It’s a tally counter that can be used for many applications. For example, you can count the number of pitches in a baseball game.

**Q: How is it, adding cost of items while grocery shopping?  Thanks...**
A: I don't know if this product is very helpful in this situation. However, it's a very good counter for keeping up with chorus and exercise timing

**Q: How to adjust the lanyard?**
A: You can't. I decided to keep mine intact. If you don't prefer it, the only real option is to cut it off, because although the lanyard string is very long there's no real way to shorten it to taste. I swear by the counter however...I absolutely love it. I use it for my mantra recitations and it makes my spiritual practices a lot easier. Hope this helped. :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and easy to use
*by A***E on November 16, 2025*

Easy and reliable digital counter, very lightweight yet well-made. Also, easy to use and see without my reading glasses!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to use, intuitive
*by J***S on January 22, 2023*

I needed a counter to keep in my pocket and record incidents at various times. This device completely met my needs. The screen will go blank after a certain amount of time; I'm not sure how long. Pressing any button gets it to light back up. It is easy to lock by pressing both the up and down buttons, which are next to each other in the middle of the button section, one atop the other. Locking and unlocking simply requires pressing the buttons down for a few seconds. This has never failed to work on me, and the device seems well enough made that I don't see buttons becoming overly sensitive in the future. There is a lanyard on the counter, which I did not want. With little effort, it is easy to undo the knot to remove the rope. I saved it in case I want to reinstall it in the future. This device is exactly what I wanted. It will serve my needs completely, and I can't think of any suggestions for improvements.
