Unbeatable value for money if you are looking for a good gift
By Ivo on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2022
I liked it probably more than my son did but we both did. It does take some time to get used to. Also the instructions could be better (i.e. example projects). All and all this kit is in order of magnitude better than any cheap Chinese crap that you can find for that amount.

Pen completely non-functional; unclear and time-consuming support
By David on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023
My son was very excited for this kit, but unfortunately, the pen refuses to draw at all, even after following the troubleshooting video on Circuit Scribe's website. Emailing their support address resulted in a response days later saying to use a non-existent "contact us" button or leave a review, which is why I'm here. Amazon's return function asks me to pay $5.99 for UPS pickup and strangely won't let me select the usual free return option via an Amazon Go store or locker. Super frustrating for a $7.28 purchase that had so much promise!

Beautiful kit. No so good pen

The kit is so beautiful, you wanna use it when you see it! Components build quality is more than great, I feel they will last for years. The thing is the pen quality. The ink is centainly conductive, but it gets stucked very often in the pen. I've used the kit before so I left my brother to use it just to check how was the experience for a first-time user ... and he gave up with the kit in less than 15min haha. If the pen doesn't work as expected, the hole kit is useless. So that's why I give a 2 star, sorry.
Zero star

If I could rate a zero star, I would give them a zero. We received a defective kit so we tried to contact them from their website multiple times, however we have not received a respond. They have not accept return or exchange.

Hard to use
Pen not reliable

The pen doesn't work well. Tried it and out of the box worked for a few minutes and then no longer. Tried the various steps they note in the instructions to try and resolve and those haven't been successful as of yet. Product not ready for prime time. If there is a way to request a new pen from the company producing.. would be open to receiving and seeing if they have solved the issue.
Pen doesn't work

Neat concept. However not sure if 4-5 pieces kit worth the price tag. Pen doesn't work.
Good idea, pen which is the main piece does NOT work!

Got this from the STEM club with amazon and very upsetting the pen does NOT work otherwise I think it would be a great idea and my daughter is an artist so we were looking forward to this. I will look into returning it through STEM club due to I still pay for it via monthly subscription. If they can get the pen to work and send out new ones I would keep it since I do love the concept.
Disappointing

Product was difficult to use. The pen lays a very thin line of “ink” which doesn’t work to create a circuit. You have to go over and over to make the lines super thick and even then, it’s finicky. 10 year old who loves stem kits was quickly irritated and then lost all interest. The adults tried it and realized it was a good idea poorly executed. Do not recommend wasting time or money on this.
Disappointing

As others have said, the pen doesn't work. The directions say to shake if settled. All three of took turns shaking it and we still couldn't get it to work. We received this as part of the STEM club with Amazon. It was a disappointment as even if the pen did work, it wasn't as much value for the price as other items we have received with the club.
