Gotoky device
Gotoky`s design radiates connectivity. It is made out of PCA plastic with a soft-touch layer on the back that allows it to be firmly grasped and adds to the overall user experience. It’s both splash-proof and dust-resistant designed to withstand extreme environments, and has a special loop so that it can be hung from a belt, a bag or even on a tree, or other objects in order to get a better signal.
Multifunctional switch made of two coloured illuminated ring provides user easy and simple operation of the device.
