I would stay away from Kano as far as I can. Bought a Kano Pixel kit earlier which does not go with the description on official web site. Did some research my self, and it turned out I was not alone, obviously Kano changed the design after crowd-funding finished but with out changing the description. Obvious misleading, but that was not the end of the story. A couple of days later, I could not tell exactly but definitely less than 1 week, the battery slot came off the board. Whaaaaat? I decided to take a closer look at the board and I was amazed to find out: 1. The battery contacts and the battery slot case were two different component, and the battery slot case was glue to the board using some crappy glue which came off automatically. 2. The potentiometer which was supposed to be soldered on the board was standing on its feet and those anchor points meant to be soldered on the board were dangling there as they need it to be vertically mounted to the board. That's more than enough to say that Pixel kit was my very first and last Kano product. It simply too much cutting corners stuff.

Let me know if we can offer you something new and fresh to make up for the fumble here. Happy to give you anything from our current line. You will be impressed and overjoyed.
