The smallest console in the world - Thumby

Thumby will be a miniature console with full operation so you can play . It will be available with five preloaded games and a 72x40 OLED display.

TinyCircuits is a webshop specializing in miniature electronic devices, they have announced their next project, which is Thumby , which as you can see it will be a miniature console but in the shape of an original Game Boy and which due to its size is considered the smallest in the world. It's a console fully functional , which you can carry as a keychain everywhere and soon start a campaign for its sale where the first 50 can be obtained at half price, although its normal cost will be 19 dollars.

Your measurements:

  • 29.5 mm high

It was built on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 processor, has a small battery, a power button, buttons to control games, a micro USB port that is used for both charging and programming and a monochrome display with OLED technology with the amazing resolution of 72x40 .

THUMBY

The console will have five games and you will be able to install new ones via USB


A console that is designed for an audience especially interested in innovative and different technology in the world of video games, in fact allows programming games specifically for Thumby using Python, although it will also come with five prerecorded games inspired by classics such as Snake or Tetris . 

In my opinion it would be difficult for me to play on such a small console because my hands are big, but I know that many will love the idea as it is an interesting and a little strange idea. What do you think about this console?
