r/theHandy

I've owned The Handy for at least 2 years at this point and I absolutely love it. I haven't used it in a while due to the noise levels, so I was looking into whether The Handy 2 Pro was worth the upgrade at $379. For me, I decided that it was, or at least I thought I did?

There's no Handy 2 toy or accessory bundles. Why? I added it to my cart then was looking at accessories and spent another half an hour researching which accessories were worth it or not. I found that The Extender ($25) and The Long Sleeve Holder ($29) are basically essentials. After accepting the fact that I'm getting nickel and dimed and deciding the move forward, I see in a Reddit thread that there's no charger / power supply included ($19)... Seriously? I had assumed it would just be in the box. Yes, I see now that the product page says otherwise. I also see that the non discounted price is $500 and you can't throw in a charger? My lord. What a poor customer experience so far. Bundle that shit so I don't have to waste my time going down a rabbit hole for an already expensive purchase.

After weeks of holding the handy pro 2 while laying in bed using VR, I developed horrible finger pain. My fingers still hurt after a week of not using it. I was ready to call the purchase a wash but my hormones wasn’t ready to throw away $400.

I noticed I had some empty card board shoe boxes I’ve been meaning to throw away when it hit me. I grabbed the handy, placed it on the box, and then cut a tight pattern allowing me to push it into the box. The key was cutting the pattern just enough so the handy is held tightly in place. I cut the pattern starting at the base of the box and left the top and bottom “flaps” to add stability.

From there, all I needed was something to recline it on (in my case a hard pillow). I tested it out and it worked perfectly. You might have to make adjustments regarding how you trim the cardboard but the important part is to keep tue handy cutout part small enough to where it holds it in tightly.

It’s definitely some redneck engineering material but it works and all you need is a cardboard shoe box.

Are there any free sites to use with handy for scripts , can’t afford a lifetime srl at the moment and would rather save up rather than paying monthly. Thankful for any suggestions!

Just got the Handy 2 with desk mount a week ago as my first electronic toy. Although I am very satisfied with the Handy 2 itself, I was rather frustrated with the desk mount. Never got it mounted in a position and stay there after a couple strokes. After the frustration honestly took me out of the mood a couple of times during my attempts I decided it was a lost cause with those flexible joints on the mount.

I ended up just tossing the desk mount and searching Amazon. Didn't have to look too hard and found a pretty highly rated mount with screws directly attached to the mounting surface. It's around $20 right now depending on which size clamp you'll need and it comes with one lockable ball joint. [Amazon link to the mount --> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTCP55Z6 ] Just using the mount attaches to the top of the Handy 2 kept it pretty steady without swiveling. It does rock a little bit back and forth while doing the motion, but nothing excessive. This is enough to get you by if you don't want to spend any more, though I have on my setup (photos attached)

Since the Handy 2 has two screw attachment points, I figured it'd be better for wear-and-tear to get another ball-joint and attach the mount to both, to keep it steadier and distrubute any stress on the machine. Another ball-joint goes for $12 right now from the same seller. [Link -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKW7V14 ] You could buy this alongside the mount, or just buy two mounts in both sizes if you want some more freedom on where you can setup, as they both come with one ball-joint. Attached photos show the mount and joints, as well as the order i screw them in so they all can fit nicely. Keep in mind the ball-joints can have the screw-hole rotate freely for the final step as long as the joint is unlocked.

Hey guys, I don’t understand why I select a video and script on the video player and it keeps saying token error. I remember it did this before to me but one of the team actually fixed it for me and it was good until I came back again. Why does this always happen?? But it’s not just one script. It’s every single script I use it doesn’t do this before until someone fix it for me then it’s good like new again.

Gen2 is probably one of, if not the best sleeve I tried so far, I am tempted to try different one, how is Lips when it comes to length and width? I really like larger opening and for the sleeve to be rather soft, firm ones don't do it for me for some reason, length is fine, but 16cm+ is ideal for me, gives plenty of wiggle room, even for smaller sizes.

Has anyone tried microphone desk mounts as a handsfree alternative ?

Hello! Could you please recommend the best desk mount for the Handy 2 Pro? One that allows me to move it around

Hi everyone,

I’m working on an early AI script-generation app / platform for synced device users, and I’m looking for a small group of early testers.

The idea is simple: you upload a video (video links or saved files) you own or have access to, and the AI helps generate a motion script that can be used with compatible synced devices. Our app also allows you to modify on the script for customization.

I’m still in the early internal testing stage, so this is not a finished product and I’m not selling anything here. I’m mainly trying to understand whether this workflow actually solves a real problem for people who already use script-based devices.

Since the internal testing spots are limited, I’d like to invite a few experienced users to try the app and give honest feedback.

If you’re interested, please comment with:

1. What synced device you currently use
2. How often you feel limited by available scripts
3. Whether you have ever bought, downloaded, or made scripts yourself
4. What type of content you wish had better script support
5. What would matter most to you: speed, accuracy, easy editing, or device compatibility

If it seems like a good fit, I can DM you with more details and share access to the early test version.

Thanks — I’m genuinely curious whether AI-generated scripts could make synced devices easier and more useful for more content.

To our community,

This letter addresses manufacturing and fulfillment issues with a few of the delivered Handy 2’s, our latest device. Whether you own the Handy, are considering buying one, or are new to our community, we want you to understand what happened and how we're fixing it.

We owe you a direct answer about the charging problems affecting this small % of Handy 2 units, and an apology for the frustration this has caused. Here it is.

What we found

Our engineering team has identified two separate charging issues that are affecting our units. They don't impact every device (less than 3%), but they affect enough customers that we owe you a straightforward explanation and a clear plan to make it right:

• Charging Integrated Circuit “IC” manufacturing defect: On affected units, the charging IC on the board has vias (holes) in the solder pads. During manufacturing, solder paste can flow through these vias, leaving pins with poor connections. A unit can work fine when it leaves our factory, then fail weeks or months later as the connection degrades with use. This is a design and manufacturing problem on our side.
• Insufficient input voltage support: Our charging system requires a minimum of 5.1V input. Many chargers, including standard Apple chargers and USB ports on computers, fall back to 5V when they don't recognize our device's power delivery profile, leaving the unit unable to charge. The fix is a USB-C PD charger that delivers 9V or more; those allow the higher voltage automatically and charge the device reliably. We should have caught this before shipping.

Both issues are on us. No excuses. We apologize.

What this means for you

If your Handy 2 won’t charge, it’s likely one of these two problems. Issue 2 is easy to work around, using a USB-C PD charger rated for 9V or higher. Issue 1 requires a replacement. Neither is something you should have to debug yourself.

What we've done

Both issues are fixed in current production. The charging circuit has been redesigned to prevent degradation, and the power system now works with standard chargers. Units with the fix are now rolling out.

Our customer support

For those of you that have reached out to us through customer service: You've waited long for answers, and that's not the experience we want anyone to have. We're sorry. We've grown the support team and shifted internal resources, so QA and support get the priority they deserve. We know words are not enough and you will see the difference in how quickly we respond from here on.

If you're affected, reach out

Email contact@thehandy.com with your order number, device info from the app, charger model, and a brief description of the problem. We'll diagnose quickly and replace the unit if needed.

Moving Forward

We're strengthening QC going forward and taking steps to rebuild the trust you've placed in us. Thanks to the Handy community for your honest feedback, we won't take that lightly.

Thank you for holding us accountable.

Which website should I choose for the handy? Porn VR or sex like real?

I’ve been using the Handy 2 pro for a few weeks now and it works great. One of the downsides is having to hold it tightly for it to do its thing. I use it laying down in bed with my VR headset on. My typical session is about 45m to an hour. This puts a lot of strain on my fingers.

Today I noticed my finger joints hurting throughout the day and it worries me. It’s only on the hand I use to hold the handy so I’m 99% sure that’s what’s causing it.

What do y’all do to help with this aside from mounting in to a desk or having some complicated set up? This is arguably my biggest complaint. It takes away from the immersion and is causing me health issues. I love the sensation but might have to stop using it if it gets worse.

I am a performer on SC. Is there a way to make 'The Handy' interact with viewer tips during livestreams, just like Lovense does? If I need third-party software or a bridge app to make it work, please let me know. I’m happy to look into it and figure it out.
