Post by: czarek on Fri, 14 October 2016, 08:28:11: 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?

All things said this looks like one to avoid.

Do you really think he will be that fast if he keeps his current pace?

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.
