Best device for a beginner?

New to the scene, I was looking at the Handy or the Keon Kiroo which of these are generally better or is there one that beats both? Also is the Handy the only one that can do scripts or the Keon and others can too? I know they have the handy 2 and keon 2 but both are only on pre-order and I was looking to get one now.

Picking a device is mostly personal preference tbh. Both the Keon and The Handy work with funscripts, as do a bunch of other devices you can see here.

The main difference for me: the Keon runs on its rechargeable battery, which can be annoying, while The Handy runs off wall power, which is much more convenient.

the handy is slightly faster then the keon, as for handy 2 and keon 2, im not sure as i have not tried them at all.

I started out building an OSR2+valve for under $200 iirc
If you have access to a 3D printer it’s a pretty fun project and you can do multi access scripts too

I would argue it was actually quite beginner friendly. Took me a few days of casual printing and an afternoon to assemble.

I then ended up moving up to an SR6+Twist+valve and it is excellent.

Get an osr2 from either @Vespera @g90ak or @M0SAIC you won’t be limited to 1 axis and it’s lightweight. If you want one from a company then mirabot lite. The handy 1 and keon are old and aren’t great specs wise but if you can get one for cheap that’s an option you will likely want to upgrade later though so why “waste” money. Both keon and handy 2 pro (the version you want) are single axis.

Yeah or just buy an OSR2+twist
It’s a solid device.

Do you know if the Kiiroo Powerblow or Kiiroo feelstars work with the Handy? I see people say those are good. Also some people say other brand fleshlights work with the handy while others say they don’t so I’m curious how that works.

The Handy (V1) basically secures your fleshlight / onahole / sleeve with a 50mm velcro strap. If the shape of your toy allows, then it will stay on. The issue is that V1 Handy’s motor has limited torque. According to my testing it’s only able to hold ~380 gram before it become sluggish. So realistically it may only able to hold smaller sleeves such as the original Handy Sleeves, or Fleshlight Quickshot.

The Handy 2 is marketed to have better performance and can be “overclocked”. I don’t own one to tell.

If you find yourself within the Fleshlight ecosystem then maybe Keon won’t be a bad option. However do look into the OSR range of DIY options which are also designed with Fleshlights in mind. I’ve written a guide on it: [Guide] What Is the OSR2 / SR6 / SSR1 and How Do I Get One?
