is the keon worth it in 2024? I have had the handy, fun sr1 and currently the syncbot. the handy was great for about 4 years, really just got bored of using it and buying different strokers that were a hit and miss over the years ive wasted quite a bit of sleeves that didnt work well with the device. one of the big problems was the hands free option from the website.
The funsr1 i thought would be awesome but its so clunky and its so strong any clamp i use cant take the movement so ive lost interest in it.
The Syncbot is currently my favorite as many problems people have had with the device mine runs perfectly fine and i love how easy it is to connect and start playing any video.
Ive been looking at the keon for years and i love fleshlights. I dont need a device to run at insane speeds for a stroker. the syncbot was the best device ive owned for pmv/hmv/and cockhero scripts, for me it beats the handy.
Tldr is the keon entertaining enough with all the upgrades it has gotten over the years? does it make it worth buying with the powerblow and handsfree option?
Alright being that of the strokers commonly used/mentioned on this site, the Keon is probably the least popular. I still use it as my daily driver so I’ll give you a fair shake on the ups and downs of it.
Negatives First
Ok so main downsides with the Keon, its not as accurate or as fast as the other strokers so it has issues with overly detailed scripts and you more or less have to default to any simple or smoothed out scripts. This is the one of the big reasons people prefer the Handy over the Keon.
Last I remember the Powerblow still doesn’t have intiface compatibility yet, so you’d have to use it manually or thru the kiiroo app, it should have xtoys compatibility and it apparently works thru haptics connect for slr scripts.
It is battery powered, so if you go for really long sessions that might be an issue. As with anything battery powered, the batteries will eventually degrade.
Handsfree wise I can’t really speak for any of the options except for the neck strap but I can’t get it working because I’m not girthy enough to keep in the stroker without vertical force down. The strap only really keeps it from falling forward/backward and does nothing for left/right or vertical.
Honestly I find it easier to just place a towel at the end of the table, then find a way to wedge myself against the stroker and the towel by scooching my chair up and that works just fine. You can keep it on that way or using your legs.
Based off images, not sure I’d trust the clamp cause the Keon isn’t that light especially with the stroker and full size fleshlight.
You will probably need the Keon compatible stroker case or youll need to 3d print a ring cap for the case. Without the compatible case or the ring cap fleshlights will rub against the inside of the stroker and start to deteriorate. I had one 3d printed thru a 3rd party manufacturer since the compatible case didnt exist at the time, wasnt too expensive.
Postitives and My Thoughts
Alright so if you read through all of the negatives and they don’t sound that bad or aren’t enough of a negative to turn you off then you’re here.
Fleshlight compatibility is honestly this device’s greatest strengths. If you aren’t buying an osr, sr6 or any of the other types of crazy multiaxis or homemade machines, keon is one of your best bets for a fleshlight compatible stroker. Most people kind of start out buying fleshlights being that theyre the most well known and a lot of people have a collection before even stumbling into the autostrokers. For the most part, any fleshlight stroker or fleshlight-like stroker should work with the Keon.
Other than the fleshlight compatibility, ease of use and setup is the other strength of the Keon. It was the first device I bought before I even realized this community existed and there were alternatives. You can technically use it out of the box without needing extra bells and whistles(need the compatible case if you dont want to damage your sleeves). It is a lot less awkward to hold in your hands than the handy because it was designed to be held over your sensitive bits and you can hold it by its sides. The handy can be held via your hands but its awkward and unergonomic. Imo the handy’s strength comes out the most once you have a hands free setup, so i only really count the handy as complete once you figure that out.
Speaking of setup, I do like the handy with the handsfree setup but I do not like having it setup all the time so I have to constantly break it down and put it away(i use a camera lens clamp attached to something clamped to the table). The Keon I just break out the towel and the device so its technically less work to put it away.
I use the device through bluetooth and connecting to intiface and script player to play offline scripts I’ve downloaded. Theres a difference b/t bluetooth and wireless devices/connections, i dont know or understand that I just know the bluetooth works fine with my offline scripts.
If you’re going to buy any accessories other than the compatible case I would recommend buying the fleshlight boost if you want the fleshlight but honestly the thing you want out of it is their ‘advanced suction control case’ cap. Just the case is 30ish usd, case plus the fleshlight is 75 usd. Realistically you’re using just the cap off of the case cause thats whats compatible with the keon case. It basically allows you to control the amount of air flow in the stroker, giving you more suction. Air can go out on a downstroke through a hole at the top with a rubber stopper. But you control the amount of air on an upstroke through a dial. The suction difference is noticeable for a dumb device(powerblow being the smart device alternative).
Conclusion
The Keon being worth it depends mostly on whether or not if you’re using fleshlights and you aren’t getting the OSR, SR6 upper end devices. You’re basically open to use any Fleshlight or any thing that fits in the fleshlight case.
It is simple, in terms of design and function given that it can’t handle complex scripts. But it is easy to use and put away given you don’t need a complex hands free setup with clamps and mounting arms.
In my opinion it is probably one of the better entry strokers. You’ll have to ask others about the Powerblow since I mostly just use the advanced suction case cap.
The Keon will get the job done and let you use fleshlights in a hardcase(assuming your funsr1 used straps instead of a case). But I’m not sure it would be what you’re looking for when it comes to entertaining/exciting.
If you’re looking for a further upgrade/evolution to devices, you want to go further up the chain and look at like the OSR line of devices like the OSR2 / SR6 / SSR1.
Agree with lamp’s text. In addition about powerblow, currently it’s not worth it. The best use so far I’ve seen is on SLR. For regular use it will need intiface or similar to support it.
Powerblow is best used on lazy days starting off, and then activating keon. Using normal keon cases with powerblow is also not ideal, it needs the modded case for the suction to work properly. Custom mods maybe can help here, haven’t tested any. Using fleshlight inserts with the powerblow case isn’t optimal, air leaks out the sides, something to improve this maybe exist, haven’t seen.
But, if you run keon with script, and get a good interval running for the powerblow with it’s app, it can be very good. The suction is strong, and the keon motor is such that if the strong suction happens on a downstroke it speeds up going down. On an upstroke it can struggle somewhat. I find a medium suction better.
I agree with what’s already been replied.
Just want to add a few points:
Kiroo pushes very hard to get you to subscribe to their scripted video websites or the AI stroker. All their commercial mails become annoying after a while,
I find the powerblow unusable together with Keon in its current state. But the powerblow works very well when you’re using the stroker with your hand.
I have the Keon pillow, and that works great for hands-free operation while lying in bed.
Agreeing with everyone and adding that I personnally enjoy the keon clamp for hands free. The clamp is solid even if the keon is bulky. As long as you have a solid table/surface to clamp it to it’s great.
Kiiroo Keon worth it in 2024?
Personally 7.6:sweat_drops:
bundled with the accessories however the product on its own scores 7.9
Keon is a good system there is nothing great or life changing happing with it yet. Would I order one again probably not in its current form it would need 60% all new overhaul for me to consider it, even at the discounted holiday price think it was around 200$ or less.
In conclusion the Keon it a goodish choice The whole thing feels kinda half cooked Or like having spaghetti, but have to eat it with your hands
I’ve bought one. The battery charging time is ridicolous (4h).
I already have a Syncbot over a year now, they are really different epxeriences.
I agree, Keon does not capable of following detailed scripts.
While Syncbot’s strength is the slow, detailed blowjob, using Keon with these type of scripts was like nothing is happening. The girl in the source was playing with the tip and the Keon did not follow the little movements at all. Only moved half an inch up and down.
Next time I’ll try it with something less detailed, medium speed action. And a different sleeve to see is there a difference or not. I think/hope that Keon’s strength will come out with lengthy strokes, like a handjob etc.
About Powerblow: it adds something to the mix, but not as powerful as I imagined.
I chose the Leten Cannon King over the Keon primarily because of its performance. While the Keon maxes out at 230 strokes per minute, the Cannon King delivers an impressive 700 strokes per minute, offering a far more intense experience. It’s also significantly more affordable than the Keon, making it a great value for the power it provides.
If your goal is synced VR porn for a more immersive experience, the Keon is the better option. But if you’re looking for sheer intensity and mind-blowing orgasms, the Leten Cannon King is the way to go.
I would say its not worth it.
I have had mine for just under a year now and I am already attempting to upgrade to the SR1 2.0 with a twist on aliexpress.
And yeah the powerblow is pretty much unusable in scripting currently.
The script responsiveness is just so lacking on the kiiroo keon which is the main reason I am going to be getting rid of mine.
Upgraded to the SR1 1.0 when it came out, best decision I made, the keon is so imprecise, in someways the internal battery was nice but just plugging it in and not worrying about power is so much better.
I hated the keon, script playback sucks so hard compared to handy. Bought it for the fleshlight support but used it like 3 times. Now have a funssr1, easy of use sucks but by far my favourite device once everything is up and running.
I have a kiiroo keon, a lovense max 2, a handy, an sr6, and just got the sr1 2.0. I actually keep coming back to my keon because it’s more portable than any of the others I have. I read for some the neckstrap handsfree doesn’t work for them, but it works really well for me and I like the weight of the machine on me when i’m using my quest 3 VR headset. the sleeves are are great and i prefer them to the fleshlight sleeves. the Rae Lil Black sleeve is my goto for longer sessions. if i want to watch a passthrough VR scene while watching a football game on my couch, or out on my private patio, the kiiroo keon works great. The other devices, except the lovense max 2 which I can’t recommend at all, need more a permanent mounting setup and for me that means I can only use them in my office where my computer is setup.
Everything people have said about the speed/power and ability to 100% accurately match scripts is correct. It isn’t the best in that arena. If i’m not doing VR, I’ve preferred the handy or now the SR1 2.0 (the twist is amazing and so much quieter than my SR6!). the sr6 is an amazing piece of technology but i’ve still never found the right mount for my desk/setup and it is a struggle for me to use in VR. In part, due to the moving parts as i am worried about getting too ‘into’ the scene and pinching myself in the moving arms. Also the mount options I’ve got are a bit too rigid and I feel like I have to keep totally still to make it work which sort of takes me out of the scene (despite the amazing movement options). I also primarily use SLR and I think there’s only 1 multi-axis script available natively
I have the powerblow but almost never use it because of lack of support through third party tools like intiface. That was a waste of money. But if you are into anal play, there is a dildo adapter to turn it into a fuck machine, which actually works pretty well when you want to mix it up.
build wise, it is very solid and i’ve never worried about pinching myself or breaking the unit.
i’m sort of a collector and the cost isn’t a huge issue as sex toys are my primary hobby, and it’s still a less expensive hobby than some others (trains, cars, golf, etc). If I didn’t have a vr headset, I probably wouldn’t ever use it. but if you do VR and like to not be stuck in one location, and you have the funds to buy it, i think it’s worth it.
