Hi everybody, it's time for a little update!

#1 : SURVEYS

Surveys have been sent to you backers a few days ago. Don't forget to check your mails! (junk box as well!)

Over 70 % of you have already responded, thanks a lot! Here's the trends for the colors : 

Atomic Purple sure is the most popular, we're very happy we decided to unlock it as the last stretch goal!

#2 : PRODUCTION

Moulds creation is coming to its end! Yesterday the company sent us those pictures and told the process of the cavity and the core was finished :) 

FunKey S body!
Mould for the buttons!

See you next week for more updates about the whole FunKey process! (packaging, production..)

Cheers

Hi everybody!

As surveys are being reviewed and tested to make sure everything is in order, we wanted to give you a new update regarding the production process! ⚙️

The other day we showed you a rendering video of the mould, and today we can show you that it's being officially made! 🎉

PCBA's production is moving forward too! The company we work with just sent us some pictures of it functioning 😍

And actually, they told us they had fun playing Kirby  😂

That's all for this "What's up, FunKey?" episode. We'll get back to you pretty soon! 😄

Take care!

Hello retrogamers!

How are you doing?

You might be wondering what we're doing, now that the Kickstarter campaign is over! So we thought we'd use this update section, through episodes in which we'll give you some details about our latest achievements, with the best transparency possible.

  • First and foremost, let's talk about production. We're happy to annonce that everything is on track, we've already finalized the mould design with our manufacturer so the mould are being created as we speak! Every FunKey S will be manufactured after this mould, so it needs to be perfect. We made a video to share with you how huge and complicated a mould needs to be for a such a compact device as the FunKey S:

- As you know, we set up an Indiegogo page for future retropassionate-people to come. 

  • Don't worry about the surveys! Some of you may know it, but they can be sent only once. That means we want them be perfect and to cover the most scenarios possible. Once surveys are sent, we will let you know through an update here on Kickstarter, but also on our social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter..).
  • The question has been asked by some of you so we want to say it here for everybody : Yes, Kickstarter backers will be able to choose between the three colors (Original Purple, Retrogaming Gray, Atomic Purple). This goes for every backers, Indiegogo ones too.
  •  Lastly, the packaging of the FunKey S is being seriously studied at the moment, we'll show you visuals of it next time ;)

That's all for now!

Have a good day :) 

The FunKey Team

Thank you 🙏 

It sounds like we've been saying it a lot through the campaign but we mean it : Thank you. This month was one of the craziest of our lives. Such a thrilling experience.

We completely exceeded our objectives and more than anything, we got to meet this heartwarming, caring community always full of support and great ideas .💞💞💞

We'll be in touch with you backers real soon with a survey so that you can specify which color you wish, your shipping address...

The Kickstarter might be over but this is not the end of the adventure, heck no, it's merely the beginning😎!

So what now ?

For now, since production is still being set up (quite nicely btw, we're on time 😉), we still don't have any stock, so instead of just doing nothing after the campaign, we partnered up with Indiegogo and its InDemand program 💪  to start taking preorders.

A little token of our gratitude, you deserved it

One last thing before this update ends! Remember the #4 Stretch Goal? Well... We really fell in love with the Atomic Purple color.. So, as a 'thank you' for all your support and because you were super excited about it, we decided to make it real. Atomic Purple is unlocked 😊

As usual, if you have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to! Either on our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Forum.. Or you can send us a mail : [email protected] . Gonna be a pleasure to have a chat!

Oh and before you ask, these last days were insane so we didn't have much time to go to the forum, but we sure noted you guys brought superb casing ideas! We'll have a deeper look onto them and see altogether what's doable :)
