The '''FunKey S''' is a keychain emulator console released by the FunKey Team in 2021. With a design inspired by the [[w:Game Boy Advance SP|Game Boy Advance SP]], the device has a magnetically folding outer shell that protects its screen and buttons when not in use. Making use of emulators ported to its [[FunKey-OS]] operating system, the FunKey S can emulate several retro consoles, including the [[w:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], [[w:PlayStation (console)|

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.
