Hi Russ, thanks for diving this deep into our product! We are so sorry for the speaker😟, yours definitely has an issue because it isn't supposed to crackle even at full volume. Thanks especially for taking the time to show the ecosystem around the FunKey S (documentation, wiki, github, discord), and even going as far as trying out the homebrews/emulators made by the community, and showing how to use the instant action, transfer games, change buttons... 🙏! Appart from the speaker issue that is really unfortunate we understand what you liked less. Our product aims to compete with the really tiny handhelds like the pocketsprite or GameGear micros and be sturdy and pocketable enough to be worn on an actual Keychain. To achieve this size we've had to make some sacrifices, like the audio jack, micro usb instead of USB-C, controls as wide as possible thanks to this clamshell shape but still less big than a standard size console. These are still very good points we hear loud and clear and we already have plans to release wider versions for the future. Hopefully soon ☺️.

Hi thanks for the feedback! I purposefully avoided other reviews when making my video, so I didn't realize that the speaker wasn't supposed to sound like that :) You've done an admirable job with this little device! It's completely understandable that concessions had to be made in order to make a device this small.

I would pay a lot of money if you made something in the same form factor but larger to the point where it is actually usable as a handheld. The V90 needs some competition and your company could easily make a larger version of the FUNKEY S (FUNKEY L? L for large) and profit. Maybe even do the anbernic thing and release metal variants for more money. This GBA SP form factor is a huge untapped market among the Chinese handhelds.

I personally don't have an interest in a tiny device like this, the RG280V is small enough, but the level of quality in terms of presentation, ease of use, open source, and documentation that FunKey brings to the table are qualities sorely lacking in the retro handheld space. If FunKey ever has plans to do a more normal sized handheld in the future, I'd be more than happy to support such a device.

Also not being able to play with game sounds without getting an ear bleed from that speaker sucks. Would love to see this company make a more traditionally sized handheld in the future. With all the documentation they provided and it being open source I think FunKey and the community could make something special.

A bit of a tangent, but IMO assuming they can get past any legal and technical hurdles, the next desirable step for these retro handheld systems is to develop their own unified online market like Steam, PSN, Nintendo Eshop, Play Store, App store etc. specifically for retrogame systems (I know some of them can run Android and access the Play Store but not all of them and the games wouldn't be made from the ground up for these retrogame systems) wherein developers can release their games for free or for a fee. I'm speaking purely from a consumer's perspective so feel free to educate me if this idea is implausible at the moment.

I think there might actually be something wrong with that speaker. Most of the reviews I've seen the sound was weak but legible with no major crackling and you could clearly hear it over person talking. None of them sounded anything close like that, and I'm pretty sure a few of them showed the volume range. Micro devices like this and the Game Gear Micro are interesting. They are a novelty, but you also expect a level of functionality as well. They kind of feel like collectable Jordans - and they need to be well made and function as shoes, but you never intend on actually wearing them.

After a few hours of playing around with it I'm impressed. Sure, its size makes it unfit for extremely twitchy action games, but playing slower paced retro games like strategy titles, puzzle titles or RPG's is a blast. I even booted up my favourite version of Tetris (Tetris DX on the GBC) and was racking up points very easily. It won't replace my RG351v anytime soon, but I'll be having this handy little thing with me everywhere I go, so I can always grab a quick 15 minutes of fun wherever I am. Oh, and I'm definitely trying to develop a simple game for this thing. I love the open-ness of it.

I love mine for GB and GBC games. Wish either they'd make a larger version with the same software - or that someone could make an RG351 device work like the Funkey S does. The simplicity is simply king. Firmware update? Just mount it as a USB drive and put the firmware file on the root directory of the USB drive. After unmounting, the Funkey S installs the update. Similarly, you can simply switch through the scaling/stretching options available with a hotkey - no need to configure anything by hand.

Thanks for the very honest review. Lots of gushing reviews of this out there, with people breezing over the godawful sound and waving off how quickly your hands get crampy playing it with 'you aren't meant to play it for a long time'. This thing would be a gimmie at the toy price of $30-40, but $75 is getting into some real money. The tiny form factor is a novelty, but not one that really pays for itself because something like the PowKiddy or the Anbernic fit into a pocket just as easily and will actually be more fun to play in the line at the grocery store or while waiting for the dentist. The only thing I'll give this guy is that the autosleep when closing the clamshell is neat af, but really these days lots of devices offer a sleep function.

I feel that this device really isn't worth that price at all, even as a collectors item. The few negatives are really big issues that I feel hindered this device. Neet idea though.

Yeah, too tiny and too weak, gettint closer to ideal though. I love those clamshell designs.

Cheers Russ. $75 ? No I can't see it ... no really I can't, it's around here somewhere, side of the sofa? dog bed? Who knows. Seriously though, lots of good as you highlight but when a 5 year old says it's too small ... well, enough said. Nice colour though. :)

Another great review I agree with everything you said. It's an amazing piece of kit, but the v90 is the smallest size I can use. It's just too small. Just a shame isn't v90 gba sp sized and I'd snap it up. The v90, is horrible at snes emulation but is a great gba sp emulation device.

Wow it comes with replaceable buttons… that is awesome… I WISH the other emulation devices did that lol. But for devices like the 35xx miyoos and stuff that would be really awesome. Considering my aftermarket buttons and triggers costed more than the whole device

I gladly would buy one if there was a model with a 2'4" screen at least, something between this and the v90

I know I probably shouldn’t buy this, I doubt I would play it very often, but for some reason I want one soooo badly. I already have better emulators, I really don’t need to buy this thing but I want it mostly just because it’s tiny. Someone else in the comments mentioned this and I agree, I think it would be great for the old Pokémon games. That style of gameplay would be a lot more manageable in this tiny form factor than something like a Mario game. That being said I think it would be fun to challenge yourself to playing some more difficult games on this thing. I’m torn about getting it, it’s not crazy expensive but I don’t know if it’s actually worth $75. I feel like I wouldn’t play it much and it would become just like a conversation piece mostly, so I don’t know man. Maybe if they lower the price eventually I’ll buy it. It’s a pretty new product so I’m assuming that’s why the price is so high. If it was $50 I would pick it up in a heartbeat but $75 just seems steep for something like this.

I can't help but think this is a very bad idea executed very well. The GB Micro was already way too small for me when it came out!

Yeah, I love my Pocket Sprite, but I was concerned with this. Too many buttons. The upgrade in systems is cool, but I can't see more than 2 face buttons being functional at this size. So basically full compatibility up to GBA if shoulder buttons are included. Imagine a GBA and under machine that small. And if you can play some higher games with creative button mapping, cool.

I've watched a few other reviews of the device and their speakers sound considerably better than yours. I believe you may have gotten a defective speaker or may have a loose wire or something.
