  • A Tiny Tech Marvel - Fun, Novel, and Educational
Style: Clear
I recently got my hands on the TinyCircuits Thumby, and it's been an absolute delight. Despite its minuscule size, the build quality is impressive. It feels sturdy enough to hang on a keychain without worries about damage. The real charm of the Thumby lies in its novelty. The games are fun, and playing on such a small device adds a unique twist to the experience. While the controls can be a bit challenging for those with larger hands, it's a minor trade-off for its compactness. One of the Thumby's standout features is its programmability. The TinyCircuits site offers an easy-to-use platform for downloading a variety of user-created games, making it a versatile device for gaming enthusiasts. The screen quality is surprisingly good for such a tiny gadget. Text is clear and readable, and the display responds well during gameplay. I've used it for about an hour at a time, and the battery life has been more than adequate, though I haven't pushed it to its full limit. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the Thumby. It's not just a novelty item; it's a conversation starter and a great way to spark interest in coding. Whether you're a gaming enthusiast, a collector of unique gadgets, or looking to introduce someone to the world of coding, the Thumby is a fantastic choice. ... show more

  • Tiny, functional, interesting! I Love her, but she wont charge 🫠
Style: Grey
The media could not be loaded. ✨️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. ... show more

  • This thing is adorable!
Style: Clear
If you love tiny things, computer programming, and the original Game Boy, this is the toy for you! I bought one for myself, for my birthday, and I am impressed. (I also recommend picking up a pair of highly magnifying reading glasses, by the way.) I went immediately to the website and downloaded a bunch more tiny games onto the Thumby, which was click-button easy. The tiny games are playable and the screen is quite bright and crisp. The only downsides are: 1. It doesn't come with a data cable, and not every micro USB cable allows data transfer, so I had to try a couple of cables I had on hand before finding one which let me link to the Thumby website via my Windows computer. 2. It doesn't come with a "keychain" -- it's a cord to a jewelry-sized lobster claw clasp. Don't expect it to work as a durable keychain, though it can be hooked onto a carabiner or such if you really want to put it with keys. 3. Needs magnification to be readily visible to my eyes, but then I'm getting on in years and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. Everything else about this little gadget is wonderful! You don't need to be a computer programmer to enjoy it, though the FAQ on their website is useful no matter your level of experience. Makes a great gift for anyone who loves miniature gadgets. ... show more
