So, what might the hands free options be for this device?
I currently have a Keon and my main use is laying down. My hands free is pretty simple. I put a towel over a pillow, to keep it clean. I wrap the pillow around the Keon and secure it with a velcro strip wrapped around the pillow. It is light weight, easy to duplicate when traveling, the pillow holds the Keon in place, and I can prop it up with another pillow behind the first to keep it vertical.
This works well because the movement is inside the device. I don’t think this would work with the Handy.
I recognize that setup will not work with this device, either. If I am in hotels, what options do I have that don’t involve a desk or carrying a lot of hardware in addition to the device?
I would like to get a new device in the next couple months. The prices on all of the devices are a little steep not know how to make this work.
Thanks for explaining your setup — that’s really helpful.
You’re right that MiraBot Lite works differently from the Keon, so the pillow method won’t apply. But because Lite is much lighter than most multi-axis robots, it’s still flexible to position in many environments.
The included 75mm desk mount is compact (about 200g) and can clamp onto desks, chair backs, shelves, vertical poles, and other stable edges. I’ve added a photo in the main post showing a few example setups.
For bed use, the mount can often be attached to a footboard, bedside table, or a chair placed next to the bed, giving you a stable hands-free position while lying down.
If you have any concerns about how it might fit your environment, feel free to ask — I’m happy to help where I can.
Hi guys, just a quick update — MiraPlay AiO has been updated to v1.5.0, adding three new Gesture Sync modes (Auto / 4x / 6x) for more intuitive and flexible multi-axis control.
Preview:
A powerful new feature is coming in late December — real-time motion recording & playback using Gesture Sync.
This update could dramatically ease the “multi-axis funscript shortage” by making high-quality multi-axis creation as simple as moving your phone.
Regarding the S6: would it be possible to switch to the open receiver from the twist version?
Also what is your recommendation for soft single layer toys (Tomax Rich Soft/Sensbody Soft)? Would they fit securely in the S6 Twist/Open?
Sensbody onaholes are quite heavy (1kg+) and their diameter is 8-9+ cm.
Is there integration with DeoVR (sexlikereal.com) and HereSphere, without having to wire the device to a PC?
1. Switching between Twist and Open Receiver (S6)
The S6 uses a modular external port, so the Twist module can be plugged in or removed directly. You can switch between Twist and Open Receiver freely, with no need to open the device.
2. Compatibility with soft single-layer toys (Tomax / Sensbody, etc.)
For larger or very soft toys, the Open Receiver is recommended.
It supports greater weight and diameter, and the 8–9 cm / ~1 kg range you mentioned is within acceptable limits.
If the toy is much heavier than 1 kg, we simply suggest avoiding very long continuous sessions to prevent servo overheating.
3. Wireless integration with DeoVR / HereSphere
Direct wireless control of MiraBot/OSR from DeoVR or HereSphere is not currently supported (SLR doesn’t offer this yet).
Our approach is:
• Play the SLR video in DeoVR
• Use MiraPlay AiO to log into SLR, download the matching script, and drive MiraBot wirelessly
This won’t be frame-perfect sync, but it works well in practice and avoids the need for a PC or cables. The feature is still under development and scheduled for release next month.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask — happy to help.
If I choose the Twist version, there is no way to remove the Twist module completely, right (to increase the max load capacity, for example)?
I’m asking because I’m curious if the aforementioned onaholes fit in the open receiver for the Twist version. Because in that video the receiver seems to decrease the diameter quite a bit.
Regarding connectivity: besides Bluetooth, does the device also support Wi-Fi (after flashing custom firmware, I guess)?
Thanks for the follow-up questions here are the clarifications:
1. Removing the Twist module
Yes, the Twist module can be completely removed and replaced with the Open Receiver.
You just need to use a wrench to loosen the screws on both sides — the swap is very quick.
You can roughly reference this video for the installation method as well (it shows the older S2+ model, but the process is very similar).
2. Open Receiver size (Twist version)
You’re correct that the Open Receiver designed for the Twist version has a smaller inner diameter (about 7 cm). Because of this, some larger onaholes may not fit securely, so compatibility can vary depending on the toy.
3. Connectivity
For stability and ease of use, the default MiraBot firmware (no custom flashing needed) currently supports BLE only, not Wi-Fi.
That said, we understand that some users prefer Wi-Fi connectivity, and we’re planning to introduce an easy-to-use Wi-Fi option within the next two months.
I have almost pulled the trigger and bought this for myself as a holiday gift numerous times today. I need to poke about here and see if I can find a wide set of opinions comparing the Mirabot Lite/OSR2+ style devices with the S6 style devices. I would be getting a twist unit either way. I wonder if the jump between a 3 axis device (with twist) and a 6 axis device (with twist) is as big of a deal as the jump from a one axis device to a 3 axis? This is obviously personal preference of course. I’d just like to know what people think of the two extra planes of movement I guess.
I did think of another question you might be able to help with. Does the Mirabot Lite do okay with longer extended sessions (one hour or possibly three plus hours) so long as one stays within the recommended load limit? I don’t doubt the reliability of the device, but a nagging voice in the back of my mind worries slightly what that might do so far as overheating and longevity. I know the S6 has a higher weight capacity, I wonder if there is a significant difference in the way it handles long sessions?
Thanks for the thoughtful questions — they come up often when comparing the Lite and the S6, so here’s a clearer breakdown.
3-axis (with Twist) vs 6-axis (with Twist)
The S6 adds surge and sway, which allows it to reproduce more lifelike body motion.
The more detailed the motion source is (high-quality funscripts, VaM mocap scenes, etc.), the more noticeable the difference becomes.
That said, the Lite has its own strong advantages: it’s compact, quick to set up, and offers a huge leap over single-axis devices. In my opinon, the improvement from 1-axis → Lite is much larger than the difference between Lite → S6. And since Twist is important to you, both models perform very well there.
Longer sessions and heating
In our routine testing, the Lite can run for extended periods — multiple hours per day or more than an hour continuously — without abnormal heating under the recommended load.
The S6 does have higher endurance simply because the workload is spread across more servos, but any motor system will generate extra heat during very intense or prolonged use, so I can’t give an absolute guarantee for every extreme scenario.
In general, the all-metal servos we use dissipate heat very well, and we have almost never seen overheating issues under normal load conditions.
A practical recommendation
From my personal experience: I live with family and often need to set up and store the device quickly, so the Lite fits that lifestyle extremely well.
But if I had a private space where the device could stay mounted all the time, I would definitely choose the S6 for its fuller motion range and convenience when it’s always ready to use.
If you have a preferred toy type or a typical use scenario in mind, feel free to share — I’m happy to help you pick the model that fits your style best.
Thank you for all of your help. I understand servos will eventually need to be replaced, and that’s okay. You have given me peace of mind that either device would most likely meet my use cases. I would mostly be using medium sized and smaller onaholes (the largest roughly 650 grams, most would be more in the 400-500 range). My favorite content is usually VR scripted scenes, and most of that content goes around 40 minutes at a minimum. I am tempted by 6 axis and the ability to carry an even greater load/heavier sleeves by the S6, but I find myself leaning towards the Lite.
Thanks for the details that fits well within what we test for, so both Lite and S6 will handle your typical onaholes and longer VR scripted sessions without any issue.
We’re also actively developing more convenient multi-axis features for VR platforms like SLR, so MiraBot users can enjoy an even richer motion experience going forward.
If anything else comes to mind, feel free to ask anytime.
Sorry, I haven’t personally used the Quickshot, but I looked it up and found the product page.
If this is the correct model, based on its shape and size, it should work like other soft sleeves and can be secured to the Open Receiver using the included straps.
I’ve added a photo below just to show the general idea of how a soft sleeve looks once mounted.
After much deliberation, I finally placed an order. I’d like to thank you again for answering all of my questions. I am excited to try a 4 axis device. I love the Handy, but it has some issues that can sometimes be frustrating. I believe the Mirabot Lite will likely solve a lot of that. I expect to primarily be using this with my PC, but I will try to give feedback on the device itself and Miraplay AIO after I’ve had time to play around with both.
The Multi-Axis assist feature has really caught my attention. It is my understanding that I can use MultiFunPlayer to turn single axis scripts into multiaxis. I like the idea of the gesture assist as both an interactive companion and sometimes alternative to MFP.
Thank you very much for your order and for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Coming from the Handy, I think you’ll notice the additional axes on MiraBot Lite add more flexibility and depth to the experience compared to single-axis motion. Using it with a PC setup is absolutely fine, and you’re right that MFP can expand single-axis scripts into multi-axis motion.
The Multi-Axis Assist feature is designed to work alongside tools like MFP or as a more interactive alternative.
Also, please keep an eye out for an upcoming MiraPlay AiO update later this month — we’ll be introducing motion capture and recording for multi-axis funscripts, which should help address the current shortage of multi-axis content.
I’m looking forward to your feedback once you’ve had some time with the device.
here’s a quick overview:
that fits well within what we test for, so both Lite and S6 will handle your typical onaholes and longer VR scripted sessions without any issue.
