Envisioned as a successor to the FunKey Team's initial [[Keymu]] device, the FunKey S had a successful Kickstarter campaign in July 2020, with its €30,000 goal being met in only three hours. After several months of further improvements to the system and preparations for mass-production, device production and shipment began in late 2020. As with their prior devices, the FunKey Team open sourced the schematics and operating system of the FunKey S so that others could build and improve upon their work.

After the positive reception to their initial [[Keymu]] showcase video in 2017, the FunKey Team grew to include three members as they sought to create a mass-producible version of the Keymu. To test the hardware that they planned to use in the Keymu successor, the team created the [[FunKey Zero]] in 2018. The FunKey S would use elements from both of the team's prior systems, having

Due to continued improvements being made to the device, the Kickstarter campaign was delayed to July 2020, with the initial funding goal set at €30,000. Since this goal was met in only three hours, several stretch goals were set and subsequently reached, with the campaign ending with €165,760 raised in total from 2,046 backers.

Following the successful delivery of the first-batch devices to the initial Kickstarter backers, the manufacturing and delivery of a second batch of devices in March coincided with the release of the second and third firmware updates to the device's operating system, [[FunKey-OS]]. As March also saw the release of several review videos from high-profile YouTubers, an influx in device pre-orders led the FunKey Team to order several additional FunKey S production batches. As deliveries of pre-ordered devices continued over the subsequent months, additional FunKey-OS updates brought new features, such as third-party themes, input remapping, and a file manager.

Similarly to the FunKey Zero before it, the FunKey S is powered by an [[w:ARM Cortex-A7|ARM Cortex-A7]] with 64 MB of integrated RAM and uses a microSD card for storage. It also uses a 1.54 inch (39.1 mm) LCD IPS display with a resolution of 240 by 240 pixels, but has an improved frame rate of 50 FPS. While it keeps the same ∅10 mm mono speaker used in the FunKey Zero, due to space constraints it does not include a headphone jack. Other improvements made to the FunKey S compared to its predecessors include the upgrade to a 410 mAh lithium-ion battery, an improved hinge mechanism, the use of magnets to keep the system securely shut and automatically save the game to be reloaded once the system is reopened, a Menu button that both turns the system on and off and allows access to the system's settings, and a protective glass screen in front of the display that is both fingerprint and scratch-resistant.
