FUNSR1 - the better Handy - my detailed review

Thank you for the review it’s really well done and to the point, sometimes too many numbers and specs bloat reviews and make them hard to follow so I actually appreciate the lack of that.

When I first saw this device I was very hopeful so it’s great to hear that it seems to be living up to my expectations. With the price that it is making it much more accessible and more attractive design than other SR devices (imo) I can see this blowing up on here.

Personally I don’t know but according to the Software Compatibility section in the following post is shall be possible to connect it via Intiface.

Yes it is doable. Also as of v2.6.0 you should be able to add serial toys directly in intiface’s user intiface. Look under Devices → Serial Devices.

Thank you! I think so too. And before I am putting any wrong numbers here, I’d better not put numbers in at all.

Same when I first saw it. I wanted to order one, but couldn’t, because of the order restrictions to Germany. But luckily the FUNSR1 team contacted me.

Thank you @sentinel and @Falafel for the links. I’ll have to look into it again then and try to find a solution.

Great review and it surely is a great device which I would love to test, but because of that it’s pretty much “Cool.” and that’s it, cause no way to get it. Is the connection the same with Bluetooth as with USB? Cause if you need an USB cable to have a good connection than this is a minus point for me. If SR1 Bluetooth is as good as the Handy WiFi then all is good.

Not that I should care with it being unavailable. : /

I can’t give you any information about Bluetooth. I tried again connecting it via Bluetooth, it’s still not working. It shows up in Windows, but not in intiface. I have no idea what is wrong there and why it’s not showing up. But @Falafel 's review covers it.


I enabled serial connection, but how do I connect it? Under what name is the SR1 in “Protocol Type”? And what do I need to full in the other entries Port Name, Baud, Data Bits, Parity and StopBits? I used the same numbers as it shows in Multifunplayer, but it’s not working.

Ahh yeah I forgot about their test videos. Seems good to me so no WiFi is not that big of an issue. Unfortunately with it not being available to order for Germany at all it’s a dead fish.

I have no idea but there is some progress being made in OSR2/SR6 to Intiface Central connection unofficial rough guide - #4 by Ratattack15

Nice review, link not working

Thank you, I’ll give it another try.

No idea what’s wrong there. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Maybe it has to do something with the region.

I managed to connect the SR1 with ScriptPlayer through Intiface. This tutorial helped with it → OSR2/SR6 to Intiface Central connection unofficial rough guide - #4 by Ratattack15

Seems you like you have to start scanning for devices in Intiface first and then connect the SR1 via USB. Then it shows up. Before I always had the SR1 connected before and then I searched for devices and it didn’t show up. Doing it the other way around works.

I updated the review. Got to test the SR1 with a Fleshlight. You can find the update in the original post above under “Sleeves”.

After some more usages after I wrote the review, I am still very impressed by the device. It completely replaced the Handy for me. Now with the Fleshlight, it got even better. If you still hesitating getting a SR1 yourself, there is no need. You won’t regret it, it is really that good.

I don’t think I agree that having to go through a physical PC and complex setup of a chain of applications, rather than to just enter an eight letter code into a box in your VR device one and be off is not a downside.

You’re basically hand waving how SLR integration can be achieved, to the extent that I doubt it will work. Also, you mention a required patreon subscription. If that’s not a downside, I don’t know what is.

As written in the disclaimer, it’s my personal review and subjective. I personally don’t see the issues you mentioned.

Firstly, I am using mostly 2d videos. When I use VR, I use scripts made from the community here, that’s why I have no issues connecting via HereSphere.

I also don’t see a “complex chain of applications” here. Multifunplayer and HereSphere, that’s all. It goes fast, it connects fast, works without issues. For 2d it’s Intiface and ScriptPlayer.

For me it’s worth it. The SR1 is way more powerful and delivers a much better experience. It’s worth for me to connect it with one more app.

Multifunplayer offers you SLR streaming. Yes, with a sub to his Patreon. It’s 3 bucks. If I can afford (any kind of) sub to SLR, I can afford 3 bucks for a very good and competent piece of software. He puts a lot of work and effort into this app and releases it for free to the community. It’s more than understandable that he wants to get at least a bit out of it. So I wouldn’t mind at all supporting him. And nobody forces me stay subbed. The feature is there and complete. I could sub for a month, get the app with the SLR streaming function and unsub. I don’t need to be subbed to use this function. And if I want to get a new update that I really need, I can sub anytime again. I personally don’t see any problem here.

Everybody has their own priorities. My priority is the 2d usage and occasionally some VR usage. I am on a PC anyway, because that’s my preferable way to go. I also love the SR1 for the powerful motor and the better variety of sleeves and Fleshlights I can use. If yours is VR and you don’t want to use a PC, that’s fine. Then stay with the Handy and enjoy your time with it.

That’s what reviews are for. Everybody can read through it and see if that is something they may like. They can make their own picture based of their own needs and priories.

Sure. That doesn’t make your statement that “there are really no downsides with the SR1” any less verifiably false.

No, it’s not false. Why is it false, if this is my personal experience and opinion on it? For me there is no downside. Maybe for you, I respect it.

I love the device because it handles much heavier and larger onaholes giving some weight to what’s happening in 2D/VR. It has significantly reduced my usage of the Handy.
