Great tiny gadget store. Hope they stay open.
Lots of great little electronics. Do your research and be wary of advice from representatives. Customer service after the purchase is less than friendly or helpful. You will want to check to make sure your products work before you leave the store. I had to pay them an additional $5 for a product that never worked in the first place. My initial fun experience quickly turned to disappointment, over service on a broken $15 item.
They always have the one esoteric electronics component I'm looking for and hundreds of others I never knew I needed. This is the only store like this that I know of in all of Manhattan and is absolutely worth the trip. A great small business, outstanding stock for projects of all levels of complexity, and very knowledgeable staff to help you create just about any tech project you have in mind. Well done!
Terrible experience. Way overpriced products (50 dollars for a Raspberri Pi keyboard sold for $19 on amazon), and an annoying guy who keeps following you for no reason inside that miniscule store. Other than that he complained that I took pictures, but how the hell was I supposed to know I couldn't when there are no signs on the store saying it's forbidden? Interestingly enough, i was sharing with my friend photos since he asked for suggestions of gifts for his kids. Just shop on DX, Amazon or eBay, save money and be happy.
I bought L wire at this store. Not only did the woman not tell me it came with batteries, allowing me to buy another set--the L wire DIDNT WORK!! Given the off the path location, having to go back and return it will be quite annoying. Horrible!!!
Perfect for OCD geeks.
EDIT had to take away some stars. They treat everyone as potential criminals. You walk in there and they stare at everyone.
