So, what's a great kit to recommend today?

  There are none. We live in an era where anything remotely unique (like that new Knob keyboard) costs $500.

    Isn't the knob keyboard ... a keyboard? I was referring to electronic kits for learning.

      The point is that this would cost the same or even more than a customized mechanical keyboard.

  My kids like snapcircuits but it’s pretty basic- nothing approaching the 60-in-1 radio shack kits.

  A second hand Radio Shack kit. They are a great piece of product design and come with lots of things to do instead of lots of words to think about. They receive criticism for this. But normalizing the construction of circuits and deemphasizing theory is a feature not a bug…there are books for that (and these days websites and YouTubes for that too). For less than 100 eBay units — often much less — you can get a time tested educational tool.

  One of the many "Arduino" breadboard kits. Great value from China (e.g. aliexpress).
