Is that new? I had bought this kit with my Nerd 60% over 2 years ago. It doesn't work with Mac though so please be aware. It does work with iOS, Android and Windows however. Haven't tested with Linux.

My bad. I thought it is new because most of their case housing do not fit this kit, and there are PCB (MX-mini) compatible to this kit still in pre-order stage.

How long does the Bluetooth last per charge for your use?

Are you ****ing kidding me? GON should complete his backlog instead of releasing products. Unbelievable.

It's not new and it can have problems if you build it yourself (see thread) or if you request Gon build it for you you might see the board in 2018...

All things said this looks like one to avoid.

I said might, 2018 is still young...

I'm still advising anyone who mentions gon as an option against it, much as I wish there was there's nothing else anyone can do.

I like many others have been burned by GON. Pretty much a meme at this point.
