What if your next handheld console was small enough to hang from your keys? Well that’s exactly what the Thumby from TinyCircuits is! A delightfully tiny, programmable game console that blends retro fun, educational coding, and pure novelty.
What we love
Tiny but Mighty: Featuring A 72×40 monochrome OLED display, 4-way D-pad + 2 action buttons, A rechargeable battery for up to 2 hours of play and a Raspberry Pi RP2040 under the hood with 2 MB of flash storage for games and code uploads.
Play, Download, Create: The Thumby comes with about 5 preloaded games (think Snake, Pong, side-scrollers) to get you started immediately. But that’s not all because the vibrant community contributes free games via the Thumby Arcade, and you can load them onto your own device.
Novelty + nostalgia: It taps into retro gaming culture and our imagination: What if your Game Boy shrank to matchstick size?
