Works Well
Works well with my raspberry pi. I had problems with input volume as others have said, but it turned out to be a configuration issue (hint: adjust gain to max with alsamixer). After sorting that out it was able to work with my speech recognition program just fine.

Not bad for my needs
I purchased this microphone to use with a Raspberry Pi project and it did the job but if you are using in a room with other noise and sounds I would recommend something else. The external sounds interfered with the mic being able to pick up my voice, especially with my tv on.

Plug and play rhasspy mic
Used this with a Pi 4 to make a smart home HID/Rhasspy satellite. Worked fine for voice commands, though YMMV, as I usually use it in a pretty quiet space. Audio is not excellent to actually listen to, but it's good enough for speech to text (with the gain heavily boosted). It's cheap, it works quickly with rhasspy, and it's reliable enough for simple smart home commands.

Works great for youtube streaming using a new Raspberry Pi Module 3 video camera...
No fiddling needed to get the device to work using Raspbian Bookworm on a Raspbperry Pi 4B. I am using it for the sound portion of a live YouTube stream using the new Module 3 camera (Wide). It would be nice if it was stereo, but without at least a foot's separation between mic inputs, I don't think making such a small mic stereo would be at all helpful.

Low sensitivity
I used this on a Pi 3 B+ with picroft. It works, but it is so quiet as to be unusable. I did turn up the mic sensitivity with alsamixer to 100. It super did not matter. Playback is quiet even when yelling directly into it. Because of this, picroft isn't able to lex the voice commands. This mic wins on compactness but loses on everything else. If you're looking for something that's going to pick up audio from several feet away, look elsewhere.

Completely unusable
Received today and immediately plugged into my Raspberry Pi. Recognized right away and was able to test hardware/drivers without any updates on Raspberry Pi 3B+ (and also tested with Rpi4) as soon as you fire up the microphone to either stream or record a simple .wav or .mp3 file, you get almost nothing but background feedback. I can vaguely hear the TV in the room and when I tap the microphone but speaking from as little as 12 inches away, there is no way to understand what is being said. I tried gain all the way up and different compression settings as well as a number of programs and all with the same result. There is simply no way anyone is using this with a Raspberry Pi in a meaningful way. Completely false advertising.

Works fine, but the supported frequency is quite low
Works fine, but the supported frequency is quite low. 8 kHz is what it actually samples at if you try and pipe it through gstreamer.Very susceptible to interference. Using it in a pi zero will result in lots of mains power interference noise that is not present in other microphones using the same OTG adapter. I didn't get the same interference in a pi 3. It works just fine for my purposes, but it's a gamble if you're looking for high frequency high quality audio.

Works great for my voice assistant with Raspberry Pi
Been using it for my Rasberry Pi voice assistant for a few months now, and it's working great! The assistant is in our bedroom and is able to pick voice from anywhere in the room despite ambient noise (from dishwasher and others in kitchen and elsewhere).. of course, speech recognition library settings play a role here. Raspbian Buster could detect it w/o any issues. Originally considered buying a more expensive USB mics with an extended cord but settled with this with for its compactness and I've no regrets!
