Best combo jack I found but has room for improvement
Once wired and installed, it works like a charm as to be expected from Neutrik.
tl:dr
See that you have the right screws, about three times as much time for the soldering and shrink tubes to prevent accidental crosstalk.
Mounting:
Unfortunately they decided use a different mounting style (sliding in from the back) and a different screw socket with that all the non-combo sockets. So keep in mind that you'll need specific screws for this socket.
Wiring:
I guess if you're buying sockets, neutrik expects you to want to do the entire wiring yourself, and maybe there is a usecase where you'd want to wire the jack and xlr connectors ton different devices. I, however, would appreciate a combojack where the jack and xlr connectors are combined out of the box, as doing that yourself is tedious and increases the risk of faulty connections.

very happy with these combo sockets
I needed these to allow for flexible inputs to a headphone amp and have been very happy with these, they allow the flexibility of wiring how you want to use them, either as separate inputs per connector or as a duplicate input for example combining balanced TRS or XLR, the only minor downside for my use case is that the TRS portion of this combo socket does not lock the jack in place with the push button locking mechanism used on its XLR portion. The connection of the TRS jack is still sturdy though.
