It’s cute and surprisingly well built, but at that size it is more of a novelty. If you stick to simple games and you’ve got smaller fingers it’s maybe viable for “5 minutes at the bus stop” type situations.

If anyone is looking at this and wishing there was something even smaller, have a look at the Thumby, the true handheld for ants.

Haven’t tried it, but I think it’s definitely a novelty. It’s way smaller than my Miyoo Mini and my hands get cramped trying to play games on it for 15+ minute sessions.

Speaking as an owner of the FunKey S (same internals, different form factor): yes, a big part is novelty. Pulling out a keychain-sized device that can play Metal Gear Solid is a hell of a party trick.

But that said, if you primarily play games on it that are designed for portables (Game Boy, Game Gear, Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket Color, etc.) and have halfway decent eyesight, it’s actually quite enjoyable. Games designed for a TV often have uncomfortable cropping or tiny text that gets eaten up by the ~256x256 resolution of the display. But pulling it out to play a little Shantae while waiting in a line is a delight.

Omg your eyes! Headache in 30 min.

@2tone Too small for what? If your goal is to play on the device, then don’t waste your money. If your goal is to have a fun accessory just for the lolz, then this is a nice “object”. I find the price a bit spicy, otherwise it would be fun to have it. Miniature buttons and controls and 1.5" display aren’t just meant to be played. If you really want to play, there are better options.

That’d make my eyes bleed almost instantly, so nah. Maybe for a “casual flex” between friends and thats it.

What’s the name of the clamshell version of this? That’s what I’d get.
