So its close to the end of the year and shops are coming out with deals and what not.
So I’m currently looking at the FUNSR1(not that they have a holiday sale going on atm) and debating whether or not I should buy it and I was wondering what are people’s opinions on the stroker-like devices that currently exist. We’ve had a lot of devices come out within the past couple of years.
I currently have the Kiiroo Keon, The Handy, Kiiroo Onyx and the Syncbot.
The Keon I know is the weakest in terms of range/accuracy but is durable as a product and can accommodate fleshlight sleeves. Is also low maintenance and easy setup.
The Handy is more or less the standard machine that everyone recommends for beginners. Has some setup if you want hand’s free but has good range/accuracy.
Onyx was the worst purchase I made, didn’t really get it to work.
Syncbot I feel like i need to use a bit more to see how I really feel about it. Was mostly a device for like blowjob scenes. It seems like the hype for this has kinda died down since it first released and I don’t see as many releases/conversations for this. The main complaint I remember that the sleeves weren’t as durable. Also it’s hella expensive.
I know there are many other devices like the autoblow(which i feel people don’t like as much. Then there’s the OSR2+(I see g90Ak selling these every month and was eyeing them a bit), SR6 and SSR1(which looks like something I’d replace my keon with), then I think the FUNSR1 is one of the more recent ones along with Lovense’s Solace.
This is part “Should I get the FUNSR1?”( I’ve read the few reviews of it on this site, but would like comparisons.)
And also part: What are the current thoughts on the various devices(especially for the people who own more than one)?
Your thoughts around the Handy are spot on. Average machine, but good simplicity and ease of use and setup. Customer support is also good.
Syncbot - stay away from, I think a lot of people are having durability issues with theirs (and it’s pretty damn expensive for something that doesn’t stroke well).
Since you’ve already had a single axis stroke, I’d recommend you upgrading to something multi-axis if you want to feel like you’re making a generational/functional leap. That is unless quiet operation is a priority, then the SSR1 would be a good pick, but keep in mind it is still a very early design (I think Tempest himself considers it in alpha or beta stage at this point).
Yeah if I had to replace my Keon and needed another single axis I probably would’ve been debating over the SSR1 more but yeah i saw its still early and the device on the site would require me to buy a psu and install it myself.
It’s definitely something I’m keeping my eye on for when the Keon eventually craps out(since it is a battery powered device) but for now I was personally looking at multi-axis via FUNSR1 or the OSR2 and SR6 but just wanted more up-to-date comparisons. I opened up the convo to single strokers as well cause having comparisons for devices for this year would be a good frame of reference.
Cause everyone can have the device and talk about it in a vacuum but personal recommendations/comparisons based off devices owned was something I figure people would appreciate.
Especially since its the holiday season and people might have extra money lying around and want to treat themselves or are eyeing the various sales.
As someone who has owned The Handy, The Keon, and a Syncbot, my personal favorite was the Synbot, but after four of them broke and refused to work with me afterward, I had to find something new. I found the Autoblow AI Ultra Blowjob Machine | Autoblow With Porn Sync | Best Blowjob Machine. I think it’s better than the Handy and be used in a variety of ways. I could never go back to a handy after using it.
I swear by the Syncbot. Someday I have to do a writeup on how to use it with the best results, and on how to maintain it. Used in a straightforward way, it’s the worst, but if you have something to hold it in place and know the methods to angling the machine, it’s unmatched. You just keep the suction low and the chance of tearing drops significantly, which makes the moisture leaking through to the motion no longer a factor for breaking it. Every time I have to use the Handy with its jank syncing offset, and the huge variation in smoothness with different people’s scripts, I come back to the Syncbot which really smooths a lot of that out.
It’s handsfree and wireless, and while it costs a pretty penny, I’ve had mine last me for the past year since I learned how to maintain it better, and if it died on me I’d buy another one. The devs are a bit slow on the improvements, but I’m glad they got a working product out. There’s a learning curve to scripting to the Syncbot as well (not even mentioning the 3 axes scripting thing, but just more like how to best utilize the ranges). And for PMVs it’s pretty smooth a lot of the time.
Basically use the syncbot by having it ride you, instead of sticking it in forward, and figure out a way to hold it in place by using a towel, a belt, your pants, your shirt, a hoodie, etc. Keep it from going 100% onto you, and you get some slurpy suction and tongue movement on every stroke. If you’re 100% into the syncbot and the suction builds up, you end up not really feeling anything.
launch, handy,osr2, sr6, funsr1v1 been with the evolution of electronic strokers since I think 2012/13 with RTS. Torque on the machines needs to be improved along with the motherboard so it doesn’t burn out. I’d wait for fall 2025 till the current market refines their products. Not much has changed with the single axis strokers, there were always work arounds like cutting stroker cases and sleeves to reduce weight but the motors need some RnD.
The twist is still a niche in the scripting community, I don’t use it often due to the noise of the SR series, the multiple motor noise bleeds through my headphones in VR and they are quite bulky so you need a solid desk. Its a weekend driver. The Funsr1v2 with the twist is more convenient I would say based on my v1 version. But the stroker is still in it’s early stages. By mid summer maybe even spring after they sell their v2 batches i’d expect a v3 that comes out. Hopefully falafel does a teardown of the v2 to see if the internals were changed.🌀 [Review] FUN SR1 2.0: Stroker With a Twist! One problem I have experience with the FSR1 is slipping with the internal belt system.
Like the major thing that puts osr2 and sr6 further back in the options for the next device to buy is the fact they’re big and looks like it requires more setup and teardown(since i dont want devices permanently strapped to the desk). Cause it seems like the osr2, or at least the one i see g90ak selling is deskmount only since it doesnt look like a device you can hold, so you’d need a monitor arm or something attached to a desk?
The funsr seems like something that I could just use with my current setup considering if you wanted to do handsfree you can buy the clamps that are in the store that seem like quick/easy setup/teardown.
I do wonder what they could add for v3, or if it would just be general improvements. Would you say its worth to buy it now with the twist? Or wait for possible revision/upgrade or even to go for an osr2(since that would be like the next step in the multiaxis stuff that isn’t all the way that sr6 is)
Stuff like hearing about syncbot sleeve durability issues or the fsr1 belt slipping is good info for potential buyers.
Yeah, the SR series is not ergonomically friendly and requires a solid mount at all times. I made a desk out of 2x4’s for the SR’s because it needs to be mounted to something heavy.
Thinking of what the Funsr team is doing with the wire management to one side of the device, the v3 might head for USB ports on one side of the device to add things like a suction cap for the fleshlight case that you can plug in. But that is just brainstorming about the current tech.
Given the number of scripts with twist, it might be better to hold your $ and collect them until you ask around for v2 reviews before commiting to the purchase
@lamp you can always dm tempest about the things he’s working on, he’s always open to hear peoples thoughts and curiosity of his work.
I have a Keon which has been in a box pretty much ever since I got the Handy. The main benefit I think is that it is wireless and I guess for the average person the battery lasts long enough for a session. I think I only had it die on me once or twice. I struggled getting this connected to FapTap which caused me to end up getting a Handy.
The Handy is great for its simplicity, but since I got an FSR1 V1.0 (sadly I got it a few weeks before the V2.0 came out), I have been switching between the two here and there. The Handy is very quick to just plug in and get going, and I got a VR headset a couple of months ago and it is very easy to get this all going together.
The FSR1 V1.0 I have mainly been using with fleshlights as they don’t fit the Handy and I haven’t been really into modding things up a lot. I managed to modify a stand for an old PC monitor that I still had lying around and since then the height is actually perfect for mounting the FSR1 for me. The build quality is not as great, but the smoothness of the actions is noticeably better than the Handy and if it was just a little easier to set up I would probably use this almost exclusively. However my issue has been setting it up with other devices, it has been easy to just plug it into my PC or laptop with USB, it very occasionally just disconnects the USB and then it becomes a pain in the butt to reconnect, usually I have to restart the brower and device which in the moment is pretty frustrating. Most annoying is I have been really struggling to get it going with my VR headset, it is not as simple as just putting in a connection code. I generally consider myself pretty tech savvy but setting up a fileshare server, running multiple programs and getting everything to connect up with my media software on VR has been nothing but frustrating. I still haven’t managed to get it working.
Though I will add, the FSR1 (even the 1.0) is to me at least, so much noticeably better in terms of well it works with the scripts and the actual action, that I just deal with the issues and if I end up not getting it fully working with VR then I still don’t really care too much, it’s still great haha. I am curious about the FSR1 V2.0 but as I only recently got the V1.0 I can’t justify getting another one for now, maybe if it breaks down or something.
Currently if I want to use VR then I use my Handy, anything else I use the FSR1.
The desk mount isn’t permanent. It’s a simple clamp that uses 1 knob to clamp it to your desk. Takes pretty much the same time to setup as a desk mounted handy with the exception that it needs 2 cables - data + power. I keep my OSR2+ plugged in and hidden in a desk drawer between uses. Takes me less than 10 seconds to take it out and clamp it to my desk for use. Putting on my VR headset and connecting to Oculus Link takes much longer in terms of setup vs the toy.
I agree that some of the SR versions are huge. SR6 with lube, heater, twist, etc. - for sure. However, if you don’t get all the options, they aren’t “that” big considering they can move on multiple axis and are “modular” and can be maintained and repaired by the user easily.
Here’s a pic of an OSR2+ with the desk mount installed.
Wanted to add my two cents, too.
What I had up to now are the Keon, an OSR2+ and now an SR6 with a twistmodule.
The Keon wasn´t that great. The deskmount broke after 2 weeks and there were a ton of speed/syncissues. For the price I can´t recommend it. It was a nice way to get into this all, but nothing more.
The OSR2+ was great. Had it with a deskmount and especially the twistmodule added a ton to it, depending on the insert/fleshlight. Downside here was, that I got it with relatively loud motors, so you could hear it. A lot. Especially during anything that wasn´t a PMV or something similar where you had music blasting. But it was a huge upgrade to the Keon. You could even use more complex scripts or configure it that it took advantage of the added axis/twist at random (there is a guide somewhere here)
The SR6 I got a few weeks ago. To some degree because I wanted quieter motors, some of the screws of the OSR2 started to get loose more and more often (have to add that I used it a lot, I bet replacing the one part that has the issues would be enough), and as the smallest reason take advantage of the additional movements.
And I have to say: If you get scripts that have all the files necessary to take full advantage of the SR6, this is a huge difference. Even to the OSR2+ Downside here is, those scripts are rare, so…
At the end of the day I can recommend both the OSR2 and SR6, but if you mostly go for single axis-stuff and know it will stay this way, I wouldn´t spend the additional money and go for the OSR2+ or SSR1. Rather be sure you get quiet motors, because that makes a ton of difference. And in any case the twistmodule, which is the biggest upgrade in my mind (motor broke on mine, and suddenly I knew again how big the difference is until I replaced it)
Also, have to agree that it´s quickly removable with a good deskclamp. Including cables it takes less than a minute to take it off and put it away, so…
Hope this helps a bit; most was said already, but still
can you do a tear down review of your SR’s ? I think it would help clear up the difference on specs between devices. Similar to this 🏗️ FUNSR1 In Action: Beats the Handy? for noise, weight travel distance, internals etc
The main question I would have is how worth it is the twist module exactly. Cause g90ak sells his own version with quiet motors but he doesn’t do twist. The OSR2+ with a twist on yourhobbiescustomized i think should be the louder motors and they’re not as clean/neat looking as g90ak’s looks and quieter motors would be something someone would look for.
One of the reasons why FUNSR came into my interest was the fact it added twist cause I’ve only had the 1 axis strokers(syncbot is weird and doesnt necessarily count since its not necessarily a funscript device and its strokes aren’t great)
I got mine with a not yet attached twistmodule and it took maybe 20 minutes to add it to the SR6. And I´m not in any way good at building stuff. As long as the cable to connect the twist to is already present this shouldn´t be an issue if you just have a picture of how it´s supposed to look.
Motors can be changed or you can ask the person you´re buying this off if they can add a quiet motor for an upcharge. Or you replace it yourself later. This was a bit more complex than adding the Twistmodule in general, but still easily doable as long as you keep track of the screws.
And I can just press this: Even if most scripts have none specifically for the twismodule, you can config it in a way that as long as there´s no specific script the software still adds motion according to another axis+some randomfactor I think. So…
Otherwise get the OSR2 first and add the twistmodule later, it´s no big issue to do this
But if you only want one axis go for the single axis-one. I don´t know if you might like it or not, or how big the pricedifference is, but with a quiet motor and a twist it´s an already great upgrade. You can move up/get a more complex one later on anyways, and we both don´t know if by then there´s an even better device anyways.
Bottomline is: If I had to pick an OSR2 or an SR6 without a twist or a single axis stroker with a twist, I would pick the single axis stroker with a twist. Depending on the sleeve the difference is insane. Hope this helped
Yeah that was good info thanks.
FUNSR1 with a twist with the mount is around 240-250 usd
OSR2+ with a twist is about 280 usd
g90’s OSR2+ with quiet motors is like 265 usd
the twist receiver is 50 usd.
Iirc g90’s should do roll and pitch so if its not too much of a pain to add on the twist receiver, that might be an option. This is all around the 300ish range before shipping and its not like its double the price so its about weighing opportunity cost, difficulty of installation and what not.
Being a “seller” of OSR2+s, I wouldn’t be a good source to conduct an independent unbiased review. Additionally, power supply, servos, sleeve usage, software settings, etc. can all affect performance of the SR’s, so having a universal comparison of SRs vs. mass produced units would be pretty difficult unless there was a single reviewer has the time and methodology to get a real apples to apples comparison.
Sorry, sounds a bit of a cop-out, but if it helps, I’m happy to provide any specs or dimensions of the specific units I sell.
I was thinking more of a showcase for those interested in multiaxis even if it is bias I think it would be a good reference point for the community for the next decade.
