Tiny Game Console: Thumby (Gray), Programmable Keychain for STEM Learning

Founded in 2011, TinyCircuits is a brand that designs and manufactures incredible, tiny electronic working miniature products, all made in the USA. Based out of a 100-year-old rubber factory in the heart of Akron, Ohio, the company launched the TinyDuino platform on Kickstarter in 2012, allowing people of all ages and skill levels to engage with electronics.

What sets TinyCircuits' products apart is their miniature size and their engaging, fun nature. The team at TinyCircuits loves creating products that spark the imagination of their customers, and they take pride in building all their products themselves in their Akron, Ohio factory, providing jobs for their local community.

One of TinyCircuits' most popular products is the Thumby, a tiny, handheld gaming device. The Thumby offers up to 2 hours of gameplay on a single charge, thanks to its 40mAh rechargeable LiPo battery. Despite its small size, the Thumby packs a punch, with a piezo speaker that enables audio playback and 2MB of storage space for games.

The Thumby is powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 processor, and it even supports multiplayer gaming via a Thumby link cable (sold separately). Players can enjoy the five preloaded retro games, or they can upload their own drawings, animations, and even program their own MicroPython games using the free online code editor.

The Thumby is suitable for both kids and adults, making it a great gift for electronic miniature enthusiasts, STEM learners, and those who enjoy sensory or fidget accessories. Its compact size also makes it an ideal addition to gift baskets, holiday gifts, and friendship gifts.

TinyCircuits' success is a testament to the dedication of its team and the support of its customers. Over 6,000 Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers have supported and purchased the Thumby, helping to make it a reality. With its unique features, engaging gameplay, and versatile applications, the Thumby is a testament to the innovation and passion that TinyCircuits brings to the world of miniature electronics.
