Pros: Look pretty nice (outside, at least).
Easy to use (just tap them hard), don't go off by mistake too easily.
Can't wait until I go play DnD with these, should be a riot. ;)


Cons: Loud. Beeping gets annoying after a while and they take their sweet time to show the resulting number.


Other Thoughts: These are bigger than I thought, around 2.9 x 2.9 x 3 cm.
Leds are pretty bright, so they are easy to read from even afar.


Bottomline: Very nice fun / curiosity item for anyone, especially gamers! ;)
Buy them for a party, for playing at night (like Yahzee in a dark tent with these and a small lamp, LOL! ;) )


Yay! Electronic Dice!

Pros: Larger then expected, but a good size to keep with your board games or RPG stuff. The dice feel solid and have bright red LEDS. The included AG13 batteries seem to be of decent quality and have lasted me so far. The dice beep when being 'rolled'.

Cons: While the dice feel solid, the build quality is a bit sketchy (but what do you expect at this price?). The 'tap' mechanism is just a weighted spring, so for reliable operation the dice have to be tapped just right. As stated before, the dice beep when being rolled.

Other Thoughts: Nice alternative to regular dice. Wish you could turn of the beeping.

Bottomline: Happy with my purchase, gave two of the dice away to friends, the other two are still going strong.

Pros: - easy to use, just tap the dice and it works
- good looks (clean look)
- good buildquality (it looks and feels pretty solid)

Cons: Not completely clear what the best tapping method is (sometimes you need to tap twice to activate)

Other Thoughts: Would be nice to have a package of 5 dice for Yahtzee

Bottomline: Nice to have, fun to give away

Great toy for all ages

Pros: A lot of fun

Cons: Awful build quality.

Other Thoughts: I had to repair 2 of 4 dices. One of them required cleaning batteries (one battery has STAIN on its body). Another had one LED non-functional. Fixed by soldering (!). Manufacturer's soldering is worst I ever see

Bottomline: Don't look inside
