Thoughts on the Fleshy X3?

I did, but I’m not the right person to make a detailed review like that. (I may make a review at some point but not soon). There is a video that people who purchased the device got a link to in the box, and I have some disagreements with what is said in the vid so Ive been hesitant to link it because its such a new product, but here you go

This does feel like a quality product, 2-3 times heavier than the handy and probably smoother operation. Not sure why he says that you must use their cable that comes with it, maybe just to avoid any confusion with usb standards??? My 2m ugreen cable worked just fine.

I also wont be getting around to daily driving this thing anytime soon because of the hands free solution. I was thinking a vesa style tablet holder but the grabby parts would have to be able to be adjustable depth wise and clamp down. Something like this with longer “fingers”,

Think thats worth a shot? Also the threaded intsert at the top is 1/4-20 not 3/8-16

I’m interested to see what happens. Some healthy skepticism about whether this will be disruptive, I don’t think it will until I see more.

If they really want to put their money where their mouth is they should send some review units out, I would give a highly detailed review.

sigh useful video but:
“Never let lube into this crevasse”
My guy have you considered gravity and motion and how your stroker is orientated? Theres a high chance of lube getting in there.

Anyone know how loud the device is when in use, compared to the Handy?

I had money lying around and was curious (sound is a big consideration for me). I can post a detailed review if there’s any interest, but here’s the basics:

It plays funscripts, so it works with any program that allows serial communication like MFP. There’s no wireless option. FapTap sucks. If MFP wasn’t an option, it’d be a solid no for me.
They claim it works with any video on any website, but FapTapAI only takes links from Pornhub (which is blocked in my state).
It’s belt-driven. That’s GREAT for noise level (it really is very quiet). It’s AWFUL for torque and longevity. I have a pretty average penis, though girth is on the high side of average. The device didn’t have enough strength to move the included stroker the full length.
I tried the X3 with a Handy sleeve, and while it felt great, it kept slipping out. Fleshlight technically works, but it’s so large the motor seems to struggle.
The included strap has zero stretch, making getting any stroker attached an awkward two-hand job.
Someone up above noted how keeping lube out of it is nearly impossible despite their insistence that it must NEVER happen. They were absolutely right, it takes a lot of care to prevent it. To get any stroker strapped in you basically have to lie it flat on it’s back with the stroker sideways on top.

If I could have used the Handy sleeves with it, then it honestly would have been great. Notice how I’m speaking past tense? That’s because I’ve already burned through two of them. The warranty covered the first and I have yet to report the second failure. I opened the first one up after it failed and found the horn attached to the stepper motor failed. It’s made of plastic, so all the force warped it at the screw points. It’s frustrating. Swap out a few plastic pieces for metal and it wouldn’t be a terrible device. The noise level, stroke length, and speed really are all very good.

Quick update. I went to take a video of the X3 not working to send to support, and damned if it wasn’t working just fine. Maybe the motor just overheated.

Oh yea, the motor overheats.

Anyway, handling it reminded me of my biggest non-mechanical/connectivity complaint: it doesn’t seem like hands-free operation was even considered. That’s bad enough, but where The Handy can at least be held against your pelvic area, this thing just kinda floats where you hold it. It’s lightweight enough to be easy to hold for long periods of time, but if you don’t provide a counterforce to it then it’s going to want to use your dick as a support while the device itself moves up and down.

I made the mistake of giving the X3 a chance. I was completely scammed by the company.

Thought so The handy is all we need

the shape looks super awkward as well. It looks like the wider section (width wise) is at the top which doesnt make sense if its meant to be pulled towards you. also if you are supposed to hold the device by the wider section the joystick being there is either going to be in the way all the time or its going to be accidently be used for better grip which will probably wear it down incerdibly quick/accidently hit buttons.

I bought one of these, and the handy is far better imo. i don’t like that you have to make the scripts on the faptap website. i don’t like that you need to be plugged in to a pc to run the ai script. and i jsut think the handy does a better job overall.
