Not good..

I got my device, but can't get the air mouse functionalities to work, just the track pad functionality. I've sent them a support email, no answer..

The cursor changes to a tiny unsee-able dot instead of the android setup big sized cursor.. It's real bad. Also hard to control, as when you lift thumb to tap, the cursor moves. So you have to move it again, and reattempt to tap. Really frustrating.

Hi Stefan,

We are truly sorry that your earlier message was not followed up in time. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when you were trying to set up your CheerTok with Samsung DeX.

We have now reached out to you directly so we can help troubleshoot the air mouse function, shortcut setup, and pointer size issue step by step.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again, we apologize for the delayed response.

Best regards,
Cheerdots Support

Delivery was promised in January, tomorrow it's June

Delivery was promised in January. It's now the end of May and there's not a word of delivery. Different flimsy excuses once a month to keep Kickstarter happy, really poor communication and based on previous kickstarter projects it's 50/50 whether I receive anything worth using.

There's been a single post apologizing delays once a month, every time with a different excuse. May 16 they said shipping has begun and that "by next week" we should get tracking information. After that, a total silence. I'm pretty sure in two weeks they'll come up with the next excuse because Kickstarter requires them to react at least once a month.

Note: This is based both on my own experiences so far as well ass many reviews from their two previous Kickstarters where it seems the exact same happened: some people were waiting for their products for ages, some received something other than what they were promised.

If you want to wait for years for a product that may or may not do anything, by all means buy anything they do. I won't make this mistake again no matter what I receive.

Scammers

Scammers – don't buy anything from this company.
I'm one of the backers from Kickstarter. They took our money but haven't shipped the product since October 2025.

In January, they promised to send:
"First batch: Mid-February to end of February
Second batch: Early to mid-March".

In March, they wrote:
"We owe you a sincere apology. We missed our mid-February shipping goal, and for that, we are truly sorry. No more excuses—we know you’ve been waiting, and we are taking full responsibility."

On April 8th, they sent their last message:
"All CheerPlay pledges are about to ship! If you need to update your delivery address, please head over to PledgeBox and finish those changes by the end of this week.
We need to lock down the manifest by this Sunday to keep everything on schedule. Once the labels are printed, we won't be able to reroute your package, so please take a quick second to double-check."

***EDIT***
In response to your reply.
In January, you wrote:

"Here is the thing, While we were doing our final quality check, we caught noticeable printing errors on both the outer boxes and the user manuals. Since CheerPlay will soon be available on our website, Amazon, and through other retailers, the packaging needs to represent the product perfectly. So we made the tough call to pause everything and reprint all the packaging to get it right. This is why things have been delayed."

In that case, were you lying in January when you said the packages were ready to ship, or are you lying now ???

Dear backer,

You are right to be frustrated, and we are sincerely sorry for the long delay. Our previous updates created shipping expectations that were not fully met, and we take responsibility for the confusion and loss of trust this caused.

To clarify the current fulfillment status: CheerPlay pledges without the metal upgrade have already been shipped or handed over to fulfillment, although tracking emails or backend updates may not have appeared for every backer yet. Pledges with the metal upgrade are in a later fulfillment batch because the metal components require additional assembly and quality checks before shipment.

We understand that this does not change the fact that the delay has already been far too long. We will also review our internal communication process and confirm each fulfillment milestone more carefully before sharing timelines publicly, so we can avoid creating expectations that we cannot fully meet.

Again, we are sorry for the delay and the loss of trust this has caused. Thank you for backing CheerPlay.

Shipping was promised for January

Shipping was promised for January, but many months later nothing has been delivered. Communication became worse and worse until the seller completely stopped responding. Backers are left without answers, updates or solutions. Sadly, this now feels more like a scam than a legitimate project.

Dear backer,

You are right to be upset. Earlier shipping timelines were shared, but the actual fulfillment progress did not meet those expectations. We are sincerely sorry for the long delay and for the lack of clear communication during this period.

To clarify: CheerPlay pledges without the metal upgrade have already been shipped or handed over to fulfillment, although tracking emails or backend updates may not have appeared for every backer yet. Pledges with the metal upgrade are in a later batch because the metal components require additional assembly and quality checks before shipment.

We acknowledge that our communication should not have become unclear while backers were still waiting. We will review our internal communication process and confirm fulfillment milestones more carefully before sharing timelines publicly.

Again, we are sorry for the delay, the lack of updates, and the loss of trust this has caused. Thank you for backing CheerPlay.

To avoid discussing personal order details publicly, please resend your request through our official support channel with your order number and the email address used for the purchase.

Hi Hafiz,

We’re sorry to hear that your package was returned and that the delivery process was frustrating.

After checking the case, the package appears to have been returned because the required EZWay customs clearance / recipient verification was not completed in time. This customs step is required before local delivery can proceed.

We have contacted you by email and would be happy to continue assisting with the next steps, including checking whether reshipment is possible once the verification status and delivery details are confirmed.

Best regards,
Cheerdots Support Team

6 months late, no delivery, false promises, no communication

cheerdots campaign is over 6 months late, these guys just make posts saying "its almost on the way" then weeks/months go by and nothing, no communication. .They have taken over 200k from backers on this one project.. I am sure their regular web page is just as big of a scam, stay far from this company.

Dear backer,

You are right to be angry about the delay and the lack of clear communication. The CheerPlay campaign is significantly behind the timeline we shared earlier, and our previous updates created expectations that were not met. We sincerely apologize for that and take responsibility for the loss of trust this has caused.

The project has not been abandoned. Some pledges have already been shipped or handed over to fulfillment, while pledges involving the metal upgrade are in a later batch because the metal components require additional assembly and quality checks before shipment. We understand that this does not change the fact that the delay has been far too long.

We also acknowledge that our communication should have been more consistent and more precise while backers were waiting. We will review our internal process and confirm fulfillment milestones more carefully before sharing timelines publicly, so we do not create expectations that we cannot fully meet.

Again, we are sorry for the delay, the missed expectations, and the poor communication. Thank you for backing CheerPlay.

SCAM — STAY AWAY!!

I’m one of over 4000 people scammed by this joke of a company on KickStarter. They’re now OVER 6 MONTHS LATE for the shipping date they promised. On top of that, they haven’t responded or provided any updates since January. CheerDots will steal your money, stay far away from anything they do.

Scammers.

Scammers.
I'm one of the many backers on kickstarter. We have roughly an update every two months, only to tellement us lies about our product being shipped in a day or two.
I know kickstarter is not a store and backing a product has risks, but those scammers do net even assume they will not deliver us.
I learned few days ago they sell thé product on Chinese platforms and even make advertisements on youtube.
Do not trust cheerdots.

Don't buy anything from them, they're just scammers

In October, I supported their kickstarter campaign on a new product called "cheerplay", but after continuous postponements of several months of the shipment with updates aimed only at taking time, the company has ceased for more than a month all communication with its supporters, including updates on the product. This is just a scam company, don't buy anything from their website after they stole more than $200,000 from the kickstarter campaign.

Total scam of a company

Total scam of a company. Backed their project back in October. They took my money, along with other backers money. They have no replied to anyone, nor have they sent any backers the items they paid for. Yet, you can see them selling the same item on AliExpress or other websites. They scammed people out of their money and aren't being held accountable for it. This is disheartening and just cruel.

Waiting to get product for nearly 6 months so far.

Was supposed to receive product in December 2025 and now it's halfway through May 2026. A lot of flimsy excuses and reasons one after another. Can't trust any promises they make so far.

Fairly certain I'll never actually get anything, and more and more worried that when I do it will be junk. If I wait several months past promised and it's junk I don't know what I'll do.

scammers!!!!

I backed there product. they sell the product but never send the products to there backers. excuses and promises but no delivery. they are 1 big scam.

for more bad experiences... look at the company on kickstarter. cheerplay to be precise...

based on there reply on my review i edit. They claim they are sending out now. however once again the adress is not locked in, there is no shipping update, no tracking number. this is once again a false update just so the scam is not obvious. take your responsibility. either ship all of them now or refund. this is really bad.....

another update after your response.
so you do respond here and not at kickstarter? lame. metal spinners take longer? you said 3 months ago you were going to ship but "the boxes" were not good enough. So if you cannot ship now then you are caught in a lie there, stop your BS, refund us and never ever do a kickstarter again, or ship the item before the week ends. sick and tired of your lies.

Dear backer,

Thank you for updating your review. We understand why our previous reply did not feel sufficient. You are right that, for an individual backer, shipment only becomes meaningful when there is a confirmed tracking update or visible delivery progress.

We also acknowledge that our earlier wording around “shipping” and “about to ship” created expectations before every pledge had a confirmed tracking number. That communication was not precise enough, and we are sorry for the frustration and loss of trust this caused.

To clarify the current status more carefully: pledges without the metal upgrade have already been shipped or handed over to fulfillment. Pledges involving the metal upgrade are still in a later fulfillment batch because the metal components require additional assembly and quality checks before shipment. We understand that this does not solve the delay immediately, but we do not want to create another false expectation by describing a pledge as shipped before tracking is actually available.

We understand why you are asking for either shipment or refund. At this stage, we will focus on providing clearer fulfillment information and avoiding broad promises that cannot be verified by every backer.

Again, we are sorry for the delay, the missed expectations, and the poor communication.

Don't trust this company

Don't trust this company! They have a really bad history on Kickstarter. I backed their last project, and for the past half a year, there's only been pushing back on shipment dates, fake excuses, and a lack of communication and transparency.
I don't imagine their online store being any better.
