FunKey S: Difference between revisions

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 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)|PS1]], and [[w:Game Boy Advance|GBA]]. With dimensions of 1.67 x 1.75 x 0.54 inches (42.5 x 44.5 x 13.8 mm), the FunKey S is among the smallest mass-produced emulation devices, comparable in size to devices such as the Game Gear Micro and Pocket Sprite.

 

Envisioned as an evolution of the FunKey Team's initial [[Keymu]] system, 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 the monthly number of device pre-orders has remained consistently high, the FunKey S remains on backorder until a sufficient quantity can be produced to meet demand. As with their prior devices, the FunKey Team made the schematics and operating system of the FunKey S open source so that others could build and improve upon their work.
