Tbh I have to admit that I broke my first on but it’s a great product and I hope it gets more attention
I think that maybe I'm the first brazilian to import a Thumby, and it is such a cool experience! I loved it! I use it as a keychain all the time, and I'm so excited to release my own RPG game I'm programming for it, with my own 1-bit tiny artworks. A great work by Tiny circuits! Keep it tiny!
What a fun device. You can impress friends at parties with it. I can recommend building a simple wireframe 3D engine, just use mapping (x,y,z) -> (X = x/z , Y = y/z) , where the latter are screen coordinates.
So I have this little thing for like 2 months now and I can't say anything bad about it. Using it every day sometimes in boring class and I can safely say that the battery life is great. Probably the best thing I ever bought.
the Thumby is cool and good
I have these on my phone as charms. They get used when we are sitting down waiting and my 2 kids need something to occupy them .
I am a miniturist at heart so these are perfect for me. Love the mini arcades and mini tvs. I bought 2 of each to go into my 1.12 1.24 dollhouses.
I am dying to get ahold of the piano and violin, can't wait til they are back in stock.
I couldn't resist buying it. It's too adorable! It's too small for me to really play on it, but I expected that, so I'm not disappointed. I mostly got to take photos with my 1/6 scale dolls, but it's now a keychain for my essentials bag and it lifts my mood every time I see it. It's also a great fidget toy for me because I love pressing the little buttons.
Amazing!! So tiny and so awesome.
In my case plugging it in to my Windows 7 computer always requires some shinanigans, but I don't care. I luv the Thumby invention.
