sorry to say to the fans out there that have been waiting for this guy, don't give your hopes up.
just got my pre-order today from toys r us. absolute rubbish :( been looking forward to this thing for 5 years now, i'm really bummed out. the creators had a really great concept, but mass production did it no favors. guess i shoulda known better since it ended up being a toys r us exclusive. $50 is way too much for this thing, $30 might have been a little easier to swallow the suffering.
my biggest gripe is that it seems to have about as much memory as a casio calculator watch... pause 2 seconds to listen to the music, dance for about 5-10 seconds, pause again, rinse repeat. side by side with the spoon video [...] its not even remotely close. occasionally it looks like it's having epileptic fits...
it's cute to look at, other than that it's a total waste:
- loud motor (turn that music up if you want to hear it over the motor...)
- jerky movements
- the base seems sturdy enough, but the touch sensors feels like something a kid would break super easily
- TAKES 8 AA BATTERIES (what is this a rc car from the 80s???)
- the 'bleeps & bloops' it makes when waking or shutting down are awfully loud and have no volume control
- none of the images or videos i've seen online give you a sense of scale either (at ~1ft high, it's way bigger than i expected)
- touch mode is even worse than music mode... most of the time you've gotta hold down the base to be able to push the sensor hard enough for it to respond.
i'll try to leave a video review tomorrow, to it to work in music mode requires the volume to be way too loud for this time of night... :/ might be ok if you're djing at a club or party, but this is definitely not office friendly!
guess i might hack it and see if i can improve it in anyway. (note: turning it off is already an improvement...)
sorry for the bad news everyone :( maybe they'll make a 2.0 version, i'd gladly pay $100+ to get one that worked properly.

Most of us know the classic Keepon Pro videos from ye olde days of the internet. So naturally I was psyched about a toy version of the $20,000 scientific experiment.
It isn't the same Keepon in the videos, it can't be, not for the money we are paying.
So with that in mind I bought the little guy!
He does a heck of a lot more than people are giving him credit for. Is he dancing too slow? Bop him on the head a few times and he picks up the pace. Pausing too much to figure out the beat? Turn up the volume or choose something with a more defined beat.
Poke him a LOT. He does lots of different things. I have no idea what exactly, yet. I did notice that if you poke him too much he puts his head down and tries to avoid you.
We found him immensely cute as well.
I did not enjoy the battery situation and intend on tracking down an AC adapter.
Bottom line: Do not expect a perfect replica of Keepon Pro otherwise you WILL be disappointed. Keep an open mind and have some fun with it.

We've had the Keepon since the Sunday after it came out and we've been playing with it everyday. My kids love it, they think it is hilarious! They are playing with it in touch mode, it squeaks and makes funny noises, it reminds me of R2D2 sounds. He repeats some things you do, and moves around to look at you (following your voice). Here's a little clip of him rockin' out in front of the computer, followed by a bit of touch-mode play. It's too bad he didn't come with USB so that he could use power from the computer, because then I would leave him on all the time, it is fun to watch him dance. Keepon does have A/C so you can buy an adapter separately to save batteries. He does tend to have a quirky pause every once in a while but it's not such a big deal as other reviewers have stated. He just continues dancing away! Keepon is durable because has taken a beating from the little one and is still fully functional. True, it is not the Keepon Pro as on YouTube, but it is still a great toy. Fun to watch, fun to play with, entertaining - so far so good!!

I initially liked My Keepon but it quickly stopped working, I didn't even get a chance to drain the 8 batteries it takes before it started tweaking out and doing crazy things. Read more

Keepon kaput
It's cute to look at, other than that it's a total waste. And it requires 8 AA batteries which of course was not included. The motor is loud in it too! Read more
