Mod Note: post feedback for GON's KeyboardWorks in this thread.


Dear guys,

I could not log-in Skype so far... I lost my password.
But I could manage to recover mine and logged in.

I will keep logged in to be in touch.

I will answer the calls if I'm not too busy or in bed.
But would you give me some help?

I could not log in the skype at first because I could not answer all the calls rushing in...
But I decided I should not logged out, because I have to be in touch.
I would not be able to update all your orders at the right time you called me, but I will talk with you so that I can give you trust that I won't run away. ;)

My Skype ID is the same

Anyone who visit Korea can meet me at Somerset Palace Hotel in Seoul.
I have my office here. Very near from travel sites like Insa-Dong or Old Korean Palaces.

Dear Guys,

I'm not a scammer.
But I can't ship full-assembly orders right away...

I'm rarely taking full-assembly orders these days...
(Some of you would know it. I told recent customers to delay their assembly order because I can't work on it now.)

I will consult all the customers who would place full-assembly kbds, so that they can make a right decision.
I'm delaying assembly orders, not to be taken at the moment.

I'm on-line at Skype.
Anyone can contact me if I'm not too busy, driving a car, or in bed.

GONsKeyboardworks


So sorry guys....

Even though I have made/assembled/tuned HUNDREDs of keyboards for others, I myself don't have a full-tuned Custom Keyboard now.
So Ironical!

Hello users,

The mod team is currently undergoing an artisan/vendor review of GON, and will update this thread with more information as it comes. We will be attempting to contact GON during this process. Sorry for our delay in getting this started.

Please share any recent experiences if they have not already been posted in one of the other threads in this subforum.

It's a shame if another established member has gone AWOL.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

When I say "last active", I'm simply referring to the text on the profile page.  According to that he was "last active" today.

My experience:  Ordered a preassembled board Dec 2014, the tally was about 500$.  Still haven't received anything.  Last reply from him was the 9th of March 2015, which was a reply to a post from the 7th of January 2015.  Since then I've sent him 10 emails no reply.  I've tried to contact him over some form on his website and via skype, nothing.  Since then I've tried asking him to just send me the parts with no assemble but no reply.  I've even said that I'd like to cancel the order and get a refund but no reply. 

Edit: and of course he asked me to send the payment as gift, so I couldn't do anything.  It never ocurred to me that this would happen as his reputation seemed to be good at the time of purchase.

2 years ago, when I first started getting knowledge of keyboards, I ordered a fully assembled GON keyboard, 75% size.

Today, I do not necessarily think I will find use of this keyboard - non-the-less - I would still very much like to receive it. Or even better, get my money back.

I miss everything of it, and I submitted my order 2 years ago.

I have been unable to get in contact - not a single response - for over a year. This includes hundreds of emails, phone calls and other attempts.

Ordered a fully assembled nerd60 in Oct. 2015*.

I have sent a few emails regarding status. Only response was in May; no definitive completion time-frame was given.

I recently inquired about adjusting the layout. Hoping to receive a response.

Edit: corrected year

I ordered an unassembled kit from him, it arrived in 1 month. I recommended him to a friend who ordered an assembled keyboard from him in April 2015. He's still waiting. All emails and skype calls/messages from my friend have been ignored by GON. Won't be recommending GON ever again.

Ordered fully assembled TKL board from him last march. Have not replied since the day I purchased the board. Sent an email pretending to want to buy a board from him last month and he actually replied and encouraged me to buy a board. Seems like the only time this guy is replying is when you are planning to send him money.

That's gotta be at least a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff that hasn't been fulfilled judging just from the last few comments, and while delays are fine going unresponsive for months on end is most definitely not.

This right here is the biggest problem.

Actively ignoring inquiries from paid customers, many of whom have been waiting a year or more, while inviting more people to send you money for products and services you know you will not complete anywhere close to the timeframe quoted on the site.

I don't know what else you could possibly call that aside from straight up fraud.

Agreed.  That more than anything else, is very incriminating, and can't just be passed off.

Inquired about an assembled and I told him I was concerned about the delay and he said "I can do a Q.C. by GON which means I have someone do the build of the keyboard and I do the final tuning and inspection. I ensure it is as good as if I built it myself. That would take a month to complete." I agreed to the order. Several months passed and I received no keyboard and inquired about the status of the keyboard with no response. I then sent an email saying I would open a PayPal dispute if I hadn't heard back. He sent me a picture with the parts and said "My keyboard was ready to be built. Sorry for the delay." The PayPal dispute period passed and now he will no longer respond to my emails. He purposely baited me along. It has been around 9 months since my original order.

I placed my order February 7th 2015, and paid in full the same day. I understood from the beginning that he has a long turnaround time, and was willing to wait a year plus.

After I placed my order, I made my first attempt to call him, June 2015. I was able to reach him on his cell phone, and he stated that there was an issue with the case and/or PCB and it would be another few months. I told him thank you for the update. I proceeded to contact him again around October 2015, for another update. This time, despite my repeated attempts at calling both his cell and skype, I was unable to get a hold of him. I tried to email him, and open a ticket up on his website, all to no avail. I tried this several times a month from October until March this year. My problem with this is not the wait time. I understand custom orders take a while, but it is the complete lack of communication. This communication breakdown has me worried, given the fact that I sent $618.70 via Paypal gift, with no recourse. I even went so far as to ask him for parts only, or any sort of modification to my order that he needed in order for me to receive SOMETHING, but each attempt at reaching out to him has gone unanswered. The fact that he will respond to potential clients, but not to people who have already paid is bad business, and also just plain rude.


My desired outcome - Money Back or a Keyboard, at this point I will take pretty much any comparable Korean custom.

Two orders delivered in less than three weeks each, with no issues, they included PCBs, a case and small components like diodes, stabs, resistors, nothing assembled, though.

Most parts and components that do not require assembly are shipped and delivered within reasonable times, often; but, anything that takes additional work may not.

Test progress?

After sending 4 emails that were ignored, I started a dispute on PayPal. Shockingly, he got back to me the next day saying that he'll ship this week. I doubt it will happen, but he did show me this picture - I ordered the housing and PCB, both are in the picture.

I guess you can just dispute, seemed to work fine

I will note that this shouldn't be necessary, as some people seem to think it's absolutely fine to dispute on a transaction/order.

Got it today. Just over a month from order to receiving it. Many emails went un-responded, and I had to dispute on PayPal... But it got here. Your milage may vary.

Doesn't seem like the type of person that GH would want to have a section for.  But I suppose opinions vary.

I think at this point, they need to have something here about GON. If you remove all trace of him, more people will keep getting screwed over.

Pretty much, I'm still surprised I was actually able to get it.

I think it needs to exist so people are aware, and many people have been screwed over by him.
