TinyCircuits Thumby (Pink), Tiny Game Console, Playable Programmable Keychain: Electronic Miniature, STEM Learning Tool (ASK4003-M)

Really fun to play with, works well, seems good quality.

This is a great little MicroPython handheld that's easy to program. I have wrote for it a little program that acts as a command line shell and REPL for it that lets me use it as a tiny text-based computer on a lanyard. Granted, typing text with only six buttons is laborious, but the size alone makes it worth it for me. The only thing I wish for in this is some kind of wireless connectivity or a memory card slot

The rope it comes with went loose a few days after buying it and I lost it, terrible that they'd ship it out with that loose of a knot with that weak of a condition

Se lo regalé a mi hija que estudia ingeniería en computación. Fue un hit ! Le encantó. Es diminuto y se puede programar. Trae snake kenza de default.

My son id enjpying it for 3rd year on weekly uses

I collect keychains, and this is by far the coolest one yet. The fact that you can connect this to your computer to add your own games is incredible for a tiny keychain. It’s also surprisingly durable too, as I tested it by putting all my weight on it, and it still works! (Don’t actually try this yourself as these are expensive and you may not be so lucky) this may look like it’s impossible to see the screen, but if you try, you can easily use this. This is the greatest mini game console I’ve ever used.

✨️UPDATE: Got the replacement, and she works like a charm! 🎮❤️ +2 stars! (Original review Below) 1. Size: let's be honest. If you're buying this product, chances are it's because you want something miniature, novel, and functional. The thumby does exactly that....and very well! 2. Appeal: personally i am a huge fan of miniature things, and tech. The inner nerd went crazy when Thumby introduced a miniature piece of tech.... and you can program your own games and imagery, also?! Love that. 3. Quality: the little device may be a challenge to control and use due to its size, but there is no lack of quality in the feeling or function. The keys are satisfyingly clicky, the material feels nice, the special black-grey display adds a subtle hint of depth to the retro games, and the tiny sound feedback that it produces gives you just enough to emulate a nice, retro, portable game console. 4. Downsides: first and foremost the packaging is cute and minimal, much like you would find on any novelty item. There is basic information such as what games come pre-loaded on the device and where you can go to download more games or program your thumby. The biggest miss here is that there are no instructions or user manual. I had to google the information for charging the device, and read through the website's FAQ section. (Maybe include a QR code or link to an online user manual?) Another problem, which hopefully is just device specific; mine wont charge... whatsoever. Only way I can use it is if it's plugged in to a power source. Started an exchange for mine, lets see how the replacement does! (-2 stars for this alone) Overall: i absolutely love the concept of this little device, its so small it takes up less space than a flash drive, and i loooove that you can program your own functions or even select from other pre-made games and functions that other users have created.
