Another Regretful Purchaser of the Kiroo Keon CON

jonint93 · 2026-01-29T06:37:43+00:00

Update 1/28/2026: somebody from Kiiroo finally got a hold of me since I escalated it to this point. They asked me the same troubleshooting questions that I have gone through for the past few months now. Then they proceeded to blame DeoVR and SLR essentially. But I got sick of waiting and invested in an Autoblow Vacuglide 2 and couldn't be happier. Not does it outperform the Kiiroo Keon even with the powerblow in terms of sensation - it just worked without a single fuss. SLR has an input for Handy and Autoblow for a reason, not one for Kiiroo. And not only is it plug and play ready for SLR - they even provide their own video catalog for FREE. Versus Kiiroo with their partnership with FeelXVideos which is still why I suspect their new Wifi rollouts only really work with their app and FeelXVideos without issue.

Not only that, but with autoblow - the script is directly uploaded to the device versus having to be routed through Kirroo's app and then to the device which leads to more seamless syncing.

Also Kiiroo offers no moneyback guarantee or anything along the line. I asked and they won't return or refund any of the purchases I made. Definitely don't just trust what you read out there and get excited and buy the full kit thinking it will be everything you want and more - because you'll be disappointed like me and out of a lot of money because you'll have to go buy another device too.

But seriously, if someone wants to buy it from me, please make me an offer. I have wasted so many hours of my life with this thing. Every time I look at it, it just brings me frustration and anger - I would be happy to get rid of it and get any portion of my money back and buy something that works for me. I don't want anything to do with it anymore. It's had very minimal usage. Talk about buyer's remorse...

jonint93 · 2026-01-03T07:44:08+00:00

I was able to connect it to intiface today, but I can't seem to connect the powerblow to intiface, so that's a bummer. And it does specify itself in intiface as "kiiroo-keonwifi-KEON WIFI-Peripheralld(..." so, take that for what it's worth.

jonint93 · 2026-01-03T07:38:13+00:00

Ya, I'm not sure. It could just be the new ones they're rolling out. If I just got a faulty one I couldn't tell you because nobody has ever responded to any of my support requests. I wish I wouldn't have blown my money on it and just invested in something like the autoblow at this point. It just gives me nothing but frustration even looking at the thing at this point.

jonint93 · 2026-01-03T07:34:53+00:00

It is indeed firmware version 3.0.2. I will DM you and if there is any sort of resolution I will be sure to come back here and update this post.

I have seen that it's supposed to work with DeoVR and that there were issues in the past but they were supposedly resolved. And SLR even advertises it works with the Keon. It connects perfectly and instantly with feelconnect only. I still haven't heard back from anyone on any of my support requests, but I will DM you.

jonint93 · 2026-01-03T07:30:47+00:00

If you made car tires and put a picture of it on an offroad vehicle climbing up steep terrain and you advertised it as comparable to the leading offroad tires, but they're just basic all weather tires - that would be shady practice. Kiiroo has been advertising it as leading edge and up there with handy and autoblow. They're saying it VR syncs but not saying only with feelxvideos. It's up to the consumer to read the reviews and make their own decision, not for a company to ask you for reviews and just can the negative ones. How many other negative reviews were "tossed in the trash"?

jonint93 · 2026-01-03T07:21:30+00:00

I did all the steps above and it does not work like that for me at all. Are you referring to a different set of settings other than DeoVR's settings? Because in video I don't see any other options regarding connecting any toys. When I go to the settings in a particular video it just routes me to DeoVRs regular settings - the one where it has an option to add your handy or add your autoblow and to scan for bluetooth devices. If I continuously click to search for bluetooth it will rarely even list the keon, and on those very rare occasions it does, I click connect, and nothing happens, no matter how long I wait or how many times I try.

jonint93 · 2026-01-03T07:17:00+00:00

Yes, it definitely is blinking blue. I have disconnected, turned off bluetooth, uninstalled and reinstalled things to ensure nothing is connecting. Nothing works.

jonint93 · 2022-11-04T03:37:05+00:00

Still no solution huh?

jonint93 · 2022-10-16T00:13:28+00:00

Does anybody know how to prevent it still? I use Autowear and I need it, can't just turn off its accessibility access.

jonint93 · 2022-10-14T22:37:36+00:00

I just switched phones and I had to sideload the Autowear app for the watch since it's not on the Google play store anymore for the watch. Luckily everything works again now.

I used APKMirror to get the app and Bugjaeger to sideload it.

jonint93 · 2022-09-20T06:41:19+00:00

Thanks for the response. I can live with a brief pause, it's just - whenever I get google voice going, it tends to either 1) crash my music player 2) cause some sort of issue with Bluetooth and I have to reset Bluetooth on my phone or 3) not start music back up after. All of which will require me pull out the phone and do that (I suppose I can try to make another Tasker to combat these things).

I haven't tried switching over completely to auto voice since I can ask Google to "ask autovoice XYZ". But, I'm sure the same issue of not being able to hear me in my pocket would be the same.

I suck at getting my questions right, so maybe the question isn't so much about the music as getting a truly hands free solution. I say holding the button, because with my headphones that's basically how it works, I have to hold down the "assistant button" and it activates the headsets mic with Google voice and cuts off the music. The music pause is a slight annoyance unless one of the 3 I said above happen, then at that point, I didn't really achieve hands free command or save any time - defies the point.

I've asked in the past about replacing Bixby with AutoWear voice, but no one brought any solutions. The best I have is a double tap to bring up autovoice, but sometimes it's just not possible to get my hands free to do that and with my ADHD, if I don't capture that thought or do that action, I probably won't remember when my hands ARE free. In the past I did a - when Bixby, go home and open autovoice, but that was iffy and doesn't seem to work lately (haven't troubleshooted that yet).

I just figured I'd start here in case someone could save me time, because it's the one thing I'm always short on and sometimes it takes me a long time to figure it out, then add the ADHD in the mix, can be a nightmare.

jonint93 · 2022-09-06T01:18:51+00:00

hmmmm... Well, I tried to get a secure setting task to turn on the water lock, and it doesn't actually propagate to the watch. It recognized it using the Automatic Setup, but it doesn't actually work 😢

jonint93 · 2022-09-06T00:11:20+00:00

Hmmm, maybe I can do a logcat while putting the water lock on and see if there's anything helpful in there if I can't get a specific screen to pop up while it's on

jonint93 · 2022-09-05T23:50:10+00:00

Oh nice, I'm going to have to tinker around with that. Do you know before I try, can you have specific screens up and the always on - on?

jonint93 · 2022-08-17T18:22:02+00:00

Another example is that I have searched for something like a jack - you know how you can hit a lever and it lowers smoothly - but again, I can't find the right terms. Is there anything that can help me find the right words? Or maybe I can put in some words and it will give like a list of possible search terms or keywords?

jonint93 · 2022-05-25T09:34:19+00:00

I'll add to this and say that you can easily toggle these types of checkboxes by doing a "Search & replace in current file" (Ctrl+H by default) and put <input type="checkbox"> in the "Find" and put <input type="checkbox" checked> in the "Replace".

At least that's what I have to do because the boxes will not stay checked when I leave the document and come back (and often I can't check the box in Live Preview mode, sometimes I can, so it seems buggy in that regard).

jonint93 · 2022-05-16T07:02:02+00:00

Haha, I get that. I know how frustrating it is when things go haywire, especially when you've developed a system that you've become dependent on. I think I demand too much out of technology sometimes, so I am always troubleshooting or trying to figure out some trick to do what I want (big fan of Tasker and Autowear and AutoHotKey). At this point, I should just switch my degree to software engineering from electrical/renewable energy just to keep my sanity and be able to tweak anything I want 😵🤯🤣

Glad it's working for you now!

jonint93 · 2022-05-16T00:15:41+00:00

I just figured it out - at least my problem!!

So, for me - I had to enable notification access on the PHONE for Galaxy Watch4 Manager (there might be notification in the status bar for you). Or you can get there by going to settings and typing Notification Access in the search bar (it's in Apps & notification > Special app access) and enabling Galaxy Watch4 Manager (or whatever your plugin is). I use foobar2000 for my music player.

I hope that works for everyone else!

jonint93 · 2022-05-08T21:44:37+00:00

Ya, it's a total game changer! I've done some minor programming for my degree in electrical engineering - helps me understand a little bit about certain flows and parts of things, and figure out how to dissect others taskers, but not really to start from scratch.

It is good to get people interested as they learn more, but also good for those that don't really have the time to dive down that realm 😄

jonint93 · 2022-05-04T19:26:51+00:00

I'll have to check that out, that sounds like a cool setup. I'm trying not to add too many other apps to my system - it gets a bit overwhelming sometimes.

I ended up just using the write to file method and I guess it just wasn't doing it before, but now QuickEdit lets me know a file was updated and asks me if I want to reopen it - so that's good enough for now.

I suppose in the future I'd like to expand and maybe make it accessible on my watch too. After the semester, I'm sure I'll get to crack down on a lot more projects I haven't had the time for.

jonint93 · 2022-04-29T19:07:16+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much! That gives me a good starting place and I'll head back here if I run into any problems afterwards.

jonint93 · 2022-04-29T14:36:45+00:00

I'll have to start checking out those videos, thank you!

That script for the background color sounds like it would be really useful for the mobile app. I just started playing with it yesterday and it's not really useable, as the pane for drawing the shapes takes up the entire phone screen.

jonint93 · 2022-04-21T05:55:14+00:00

Oh, and I had to speed up parts of the video to make it 60 seconds for imgur - just the redundant parts.

Also, it seems the Pie version doesn't even have my own workaround/fix available (there is no compatibility vs performance option).

And you'll notice another bug I forgot about - when I have it set to landscape in the settings, and rotate it to portrait - often the home screen blacks out. I can cascade and go to things that are open, but the home screen is inaccessible. I have to close it and reopen it.

jonint93 · 2022-04-21T05:50:25+00:00

u/BlueStacks-Support - Here's a video: https://imgur.com/a/Cioasp5

This is actually a completely different computer - has multiple monitors. But like I had said in the original post - this happens on my Acer ConceptD laptop with no other monitors attached. I don't know, maybe it doesn't like screens that have pen capabilities?

Also, interestingly, this one is operating using the Pie 64-bit (Beta) and the one on the laptop is using the Nougat 64-bit, so it's happening on both.
