Good but in your photo, the { key button that indicates Up is actually speed DOWN, and the } key button that you indicated Down is actually speed UP! Fix up that image.

Other reviews notwithstanding, this is perfect for what I needed (Brightcove embedded videos without a speed adjuster having been added). Works flawlessly - thanks.
