Great sounds in an easy kit, rest of review is about Rakits
For Mini Atari Punk Console Kit
I purchased this along with their Baby8 module, intending to get soldering practice and make some fun sounds after. The APC was a breeze, while the Baby8 was a little more daunting. It isn't surface mount, but tight ish for a beginner. Documentation on Rakit's website is clear and easy to follow. When I assembled my Baby 8 (with only one switch on the wrong side of the board) the last step always skipped. I emailed Rakit's customer service, and Darren at Rakits worked with me, asking for pictures and troubleshooting. He determined I had a short in a switch and sent me a new kit free of charge! Second unit works perfectly, can't wait to get their other kits.

A fun toy that can do much more, backed by awesome people.

Fun, easy to assemble, and cute
For Mini Atari Punk Console Kit
The kit came in a solid box filled with foam and haribo treats :-)
It took me a solid hour to assemble it but I like to take my time and check things thrice.
The sound is totally what you'd expect from this kind of toy, and the cat is impressed :D

Excellent
I am not a musician but baby8 gives me a lot of joy during the construction as well as when creating strange, noise sounds. The construction is simple, the instructions are clear and intuitive. I will definitely buy something else with the RAKIT logo :).
PS. The stickers were a really nice addition

Super fun kit!
This is a great little kit and fun to build. Delivery was super quick, and it was well packaged. Following the online instructions made building easy - although the blue-bodied resistors can be a bit hard to read if your lighting isn't great. This is an excellent introduction in to the world of sequencers and synths, although I'm sure it's a very capable bit of kit for those more experienced in such things too.
