the slight addition I would make to this is that when you do subscribe to the scripts at SLR you get 3 free script downloads per month, which is about the same price, or even a slight savings, on buying those 3 scripts (prices range from about $2 to $5 mostly). This also gives you the option of testing out scripts in streaming mode before deciding to buy. Like you, I prefer to have my files offline as they just run in higher resolution, but it’s a useful option to have for browsing, especially if it’s not costing you any extra.
Awesome! Thanks so much for this detailed help!!
I just purchased the Handy from “Orion”, as it has fast delivery to somebody in Germany. Excited!
About the hands-free, I already have a tripod, maybe that helps, can you link me on the currently most recommended solution, I have seen some kind of attachment device, I can buy off Amazon (preferably Germany) to make this even better?
That’s a lot of good questions but I’ll focus on “offline” script use. I’m guessing you want to use your setup with scripts totally offline, without an internet connection? This is currently possible with the Handy but disappointing. If you’re just wanting to have your vids/scripts downloaded to avoid subscription fees you may still want to read on to see why that may not work. Forgive the long explanation but it’s important to understand the options. There are 2 ways to get a script to play on the Handy, Bluetooth and WiFi. Bluetooth performance is very poor compared to WiFi but it is the only current way, that I know, to play a script with no internet connection. To use the WiFi option to play a script from your computer it must be loaded to the Handy servers and then sent back to your Handy, requiring an internet connection (this is usually handled by the player software and transparent). My understanding is that Handy doesn’t intend to make WiFi use without internet an option.
This leads to another of your questions, aquisition of scripts for your videos. The makers of the Handy have recently begun to write scripts for the online sites and that includes an available Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme. The DRM works by using a token script which calls the real script from the Handy server and is then sent to your Handy. These token scripts can then be set to expire when your subscription ends or is cancelled. According to Handy, DRM is an option that can be selected by each site but I can’t imagine the sites not adopting it. Note that I’m talking about scripts that are being supplied on subscription video sites and NOT scripts available on EroScripts, at least not currently. I mention this because you may not be able to get a subscription to a service and just download all the available matching scripts because, if the service has implemented DRM, your scripts will quit working when your sub expires. Again, this is something new and is optional for the sites to implement. There is more information available on the Handy website under their company and blog tabs and in the developer section.
I’m not an expert in this field but this is what I’ve found through my research. If anybody has a way around using the internet in loading scripts via WiFi I’d love to hear it.
I am not 100% sure if I understand.
When I say, I want to use it offline, I don’t actually mean I am not connected to the internet. I always am, after all, it is my regular desktop PC.
So, if I have the video file and the funscript offline, even if I have to send the data to the Handy server, that is no concern.
That does work, as long as I have the files, right?
In fact, I used the last 2 hours going through the Google Doc, downloading and properly tagging all the free scripts of videos I have saved locally, it is around 50, so I hope those will work once I get my device in a few days.
Excited for that!
Just wonder how to figure out the mounting question. Thanks for all the input!!
You should be good with scripts downloaded from here and any that you’ve gotten in the past. Just know that these “token” scripts are coming. I’ve never seen one but you should be able to tell them quickly by opening them in a text editor and I suspect they will also be smaller since they do not contain all the script information.
To address the mounting issue, this is a complicated one. I suggest joining the discord where you’ll find a lot of DIY information on “hands free” mounts. The official mount from Handy won’t be available until next year according to their most recent newsletter.
I just decided on a simple enough tablet holder plus some metal clamps.
All set now, thanks to your and previous posters help! 
ScriptPlayer has local script hosting support for the Handy.
I am looking at Heresphere, I am using Steam and Steam VR since I have the Index headset - and it sound like an impressive software in general.
But before I buy it I need to make sure: Does the Steam version have the funscript (offline) support? I THINK so, but I am not quite sure, and a post on this website from a while back mentions the Quest version having it, probably Steam being updated, but I am not sure if it has since.
I hope so!
You can try the demo first, it has the same features and it’s free. You mainly use it offline (with downloaded videos and scripts).
So the Steam version does have script support too?
I believe so:

Got another quick question…probably a very stupid one. Anyway.
When using the Handy and watching some videos with funscripts…can you like, feel a differnece bewteen like blowjob scenes and sex scenes and stuff like that?
I am probably crazy for even considering this, after all, I assume the device is just moving up and down and that would be some next level shit xd
But maybe there is a suction that can be turned off and on… yeah I think not.
Anyway that was just a random question I had (still waiting for my order)!
Not a dumb question. Technically a stroke is a stroke and it would provide the same sensations regardless of what you are watching. The thing is our minds take what we are seeing and makes a connection with the sensations we are receiving and we often perceive the that feeling is matching the action. The more immersive you can be the better the experience.
I’m really stoned right now and it feels like it has taken me 3 hours to write this so sorry if it doesn’t make any sense.

Haha that’s fine, I understand!
I am just so excited to recieve my Handy soon!
Thanks for the help!
A new day, a new question xd
Tomorrow, my Handy will be delivered! Yay! I don’t wanna run into technical troubles and just…enjoy…so, I wanna clear this up.
I think I already know what to do actually for VR videos, I got the HereSphere app on Steam and I think I can enter some sort of token from the Handy there once connected.
I am actually wondering about 2D playback. I browsed this site and got some scripts for amazing 2D videos.
I already downloaded the “Handyverse” app, so maybe it is all more straight forward then I think.
Do I not need any specific software for the Handy to sync with playing those back once I am connected? But then, how do I open the funscripts? It has to be through some software. So I am looking for one for 2D playback, for the times I don’t wanna use the VR headset and just watch local 2D videos with the Handy.
Also, when I am connected to the handy via WiFi, is it a problem that my PC is connected with ethernet, so technically they are not the same connection?
Anyway, I hope somebody can clear this up so I can enjoy myself tomorrow xd
The easiest way to play 2D vids is to use Handy Feeling’s Local Video Player. Give it your connection key and connect. Your Handy WiFi and PC ethernet will not interfere with each other. In fact, that is how the Handy is designed to operate unless you are using Bluetooth.
Oh, cool!
I thought for sure it would be an application, not a website!
Is there by chance also an app version (for Windows), things like this always mean once they change something, this option can just be gone forever at any point.
ScriptPlayer works pretty well for downloaded 2D video/script playing on your Windows PC. It can use wifi but also gives you the option to use bluetooth, in case you have an internet outage or the Sweet Tech servers aren’t working.
edit: I should mention that ScriptPlayer also requires the installation if Intiface Desktop to work in bluetooth mode.
