What's up, FunKey? Summaries
Episode 3 (August 28, 2020) - Within three days of the FunKey color option surveys being released nearly three-quarters of backers submitted their choices, with Atomic Purple in the lead with 48% of the total orders, Retro Grey in second with 38%, and Original Purple in last place with 14%. In addition, the FunKey S production facility is nearly finished making the FunKey S molds.
Episode 2 (August 21, 2020) - The molds and PCBAs are being worked on at the FunKey S production facility, with several accompanying images visualizing the progress. Kirby's Dreamland for the Gameboy is shown running on the screen of one of the production units.
Episode 1 (August 18, 2020) - The FunKey Team submitted the finalized mold to the FunKey S production facility. The facility will work on creating a mold from the design, which, when complete, will be used to manufacture each of the FunKey S units. An accompanying video visualizes the mold as a digital 3D model. The FunKey Team is also working on finalizing the design of the packaging that FunKey S devices will be packaged and shipped in.
Press
This section consists of a repository of links to news articles written about the FunKey S and its prototype predecessor, the Keymu. The list is split into three sections: stories written after the unveiling of the Keymu in June 2017, stories written after the unveiling of the improved FunKey S in April 2019, and stories written after the beginning of the FunKey S Kickstarter campaign in July 2020. Once the FunKey S is shipped, a fourth section will be created to list news articles reviewing or reporting on the final product. To highlight articles that review the FunKey S rather than simply report on announcements made about the product, the listings of such articles will be marked in bold.
If you are searching for articles to inform your decision on whether or not to purchase a FunKey S, note that articles prior to April 2019 describe the Keymu, the larger predecessor of the FunKey S, and thus do not take into account differences between the Keymu and FunKey S. In addition, all FunKey S units created prior to the manufacturing of the devices after the Kickstarter campaign were prototypes assembled with different displays and used 3D printed shells and buttons, and thus differ slightly from the final product.
