BadoinkVR.com - 👎- Great high quality video content, Free videos available. No interactive content. So when’s the smoke cleared, and all’s said and done, what’s my take away from my time with the Kiiroo Keon?

The Keon has a lot to offer beyond its unique design. Using the built-in controls I mentioned, users can—with the right-hand ones—speed it up or down, with the left set controlling the stroke’s length. And, to be fair, I’m still not sure how I feel about it. But before I get to my options, let’s get further into what the Kiiroo Keon is—and isn’t.

Not that I’m complaining, as I think it’s kind of cool as it lowers the toy’s environmental impact and makes it more comfortable to read than when it’s printed in tiny type in a tiny booklet. Still, it is a noticeable disadvantage for those without smartphones. But considering the toy’s built and designed with interactivity in mind, they aren’t its intended audience. And it did and, sadly, didn’t. I mean that though it appeared in the new app, I immediately got a message that it’s no longer supported and that I should instead use the old app—the one that doesn’t work with the Keon. This is particularly true in the design of the stroker component. The sleeve felt comfortable when it should be and arousing when it positively must. Resorting yet again to waving my qualifications around, I’ve played with a pretty extensive sampling of similar stroker-type toys, and none of them were as fun to use as Kiiroo’s RealFeel—with his pleasure dialed to eleven when those perfectly designed motors get involved. The not-smoothly is while it’s a considerable improvement, many of the Feel Connect 3’s features—like creating playlists of actions, responding to sound, or to music—aren’t yet available. Hopefully, before the Keon’s launch in a few weeks, this will get worked out.

If you and your partner have a Keon, then here’s some much-needed good news as the app does seem to allow similar units to interact with one another. Here’s the thing: though I swore and swore again at the FeelConnect 3 app, I still give the Kiiroo Keon a big stamp of approval. Agreed, for couples wanting to have sexual pleasure while separated during the current pandemic, it’s not the best, but this is a problem with the software and not its hardware—which is, to be directly about it, darned close to perfect. The Keon has its downsides. It's awkward, it can be unsettling, and it's definitely expensive. The battery isn't brilliant. The software works, but we'd appreciate if it offered finer control. OK, it sounds like it has a lot of downsides. But there's no denying that it does its job – whether that's connecting with a partner online or just enjoying some time alone. Kiiroo Keon review: Alternatives to consider After quite a few years (three or so if you must know) as a sextech reviewer, and far longer as an enthusiastic consumer, I have to say that I’ve never seen anything quite like this set-up. Since I didn’t have an extra Keon laying around, I couldn’t give this a try, so as of this writing, I don’t know what kind of shared controls or mutual responsiveness is available.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

Cleaning the Feel Stroker is easy, as it can be removed without excessing muss or fuss and then gently soaped, watered, and dried. I suggest a mild dish soap, though my Keon stroker arrived with two different water-based lubricants and a Kiiroo-branded “Intimate Toy Cleaner.” But I’m unsure if this is a standard inclusion or a bonus that only came with my re-release version. Here’s my own experience. With my fingers firmly crossed, I first attempted to link my beloved Lovense Nora to the new Kiiroo app. But, sorry to say, it didn’t work. Hate to burst your bubble, but if you think it might be a problem with the Nora … well, it wasn’t as I could successfully connect it to Lovense’s own app without a hitch.

If I’ve come off as a bit too strident, I apologize as the toy truly is superb. I’d even go out on a limb and say that when it comes to stroker-type toys, this is the top of the sextech peak, the one other competitors are still struggling to climb.Its ergonomic shape and intuitive grip control helps optimize your experience in limitless ways. All you need to do is let KEON unleash your fantasies without constraints. About that, the Feel Stroker is quite impressive all on its own: the sleeve excellently balancing construction with texture to deliver an amazingly pleasurable experience, which can be magnified still more with the motorized Keon driving it.

Capabilities of KEON by KIIROO include: The ability to connect with other KIIROO or FeelTechnology-enabled toys. The ability to connect with 2D and Virtual Reality interactive adult content. The ability to connect to interactive webcams. The ability to reach speeds of up to 230 strokes per minute in its shortest, fastest mode. Unfortunately, charging is a touch problematic, with it taking four hours for a mere two hours of playtime. That, if you really put it through its paces, can drop to an incredibly disappointing 30 minutes before needing to juice it up again. As you may have guessed, the biggest strike against the Keon stroker isn’t the toy itself but the new app. So much so that in all honesty, I have a hard time recommending it to coupes interested in long-distance erotic play—unless everyone has a Keon of their own, of course. On the Keon, there are two switches on either side of the unit, which I’ll explore more fully in a moment, separated by a rectangular-ish indent where, at the top, is the charging port and above that the on/off and the mode control buttons.Standard disclaimer before we go any further: whether a sex toy of any kind 'works' is always going to be down to the user, not the toy. In terms of its core functionality, there's no arguing that the Keon doesn't perform its function. It moves a stroker up and down. It's far less noisy and smooth than we would have expected, although there's no getting away from the slight servo screech which accompanies its virtual thrusts; frequency and amplitude control means it can be subtle or extremely unsubtle, depending on what you want or the content you're watching. A lot of the work is still down to you, at least if you don't plump for any of Kiiroo's mounting options: you're going to have to hold the notably chunky main unit in place while it's performing its task.
