Introduction to The Handy
The Handy is a synced interactive stroker, and it’s the device officially recommended by SexLikeReal.
It’s not one of those basic vibration-only toys. It uses a stroking mechanism that moves back and forth, with actual rhythm and intensity. When you sync it with scripted videos, the physical sensation feels much more real.
Once you connect it via Bluetooth or over the internet, it syncs directly with SLR script videos. As you watch, it adjusts in real time to match the performer’s movement—sometimes gentle, sometimes intense—and you can feel those changes exactly as they happen. It even picks up fine motion details, so it really feels like it’s happening right in front of you.
It’s not just for SLR VR videos either. It also works with Virt-A-Mate (VAM) and some adult games, so within this space, it’s still considered a top-tier synced device.

Model Overview
The Handy is a wired sync device that needs to stay plugged in, and it is no longer sold by the manufacturer.
The Handy 2, released in 2026, upgrades the design with a built-in battery for wireless use and also runs more quietly.
The stroking mechanism has also been improved, with an additional 15 mm of range. On top of that, the Handy 2 Pro includes an overclock mode that lets you push the movement speed even higher.
Based on community testing, the Handy 2 Standard still had around 90% battery remaining after several videos, so the battery life appears to be quite good.
Here’s how the three models compare.
| Model | The Handy | The Handy 2 Standard | The Handy 2 Pro |
| Headset Connection | Wi-Fi / Bluetooth | Wi-Fi / Bluetooth | Wi-Fi / Bluetooth |
| Power | Wired | Battery (2000 mAh) | Battery (3200 mAh) 👑 |
| Stroke Length | 0 – 110 mm | 0 – 125 mm👑 | 0 – 125 mm👑 |
| Stroke Speed | 32 – 400 mm/s | 32 – 400 mm/s | 32 – 450 mm/s 👑 |

If you want wireless use and quieter operation → go with the Handy 2
If you care more about performance → go straight for the Handy 2 Pro
💡There is also a demo video on the official site showing it in action.
The demo gives you a much better idea of how the device actually moves.

How to Buy and Discount Codes
You can buy The Handy 2 on Amazon US, where it usually sells for around $299.
On the official site, the price is usually around $299, and depending on your region, you might also have to pay for shipping. At first glance, it doesn’t really look cheaper than buying from Amazon.
But the official store accepts discount codes, which can bring the price down quite a bit. When you look at the total price, it often ends up cheaper than buying from Amazon.
Discount codes and discount links
Starting in September 2026, The Handy is offering VRPUPU readers an exclusive discount code.
Enter “VRPUPU” when purchasing The Handy 2 or The Handy 2 Pro to get 15% off.
Previous discount codes for the first-generation Handy, such as Handy55 and SLR55, are no longer valid now that the Handy 1 has been discontinued.
If you’re buying the Handy 2 by itself, the discount code still makes it noticeably cheaper, even after shipping.
Shipping costs vary depending on the country or region. For example:
US / UK / Canada: Free shipping
Australia: $34 shipping
Singapore: $25 shipping
Here’s an overall price comparison, using The Handy 2 as an example.
| Purchase Source | Amazon (US) | Official Store (US / UK) | Official Store (Singapore / Australia) |
| Price | $299.00 | $254.15 | $254.15 |
| Shipping | Free | Free | $25–$34 |
| Total | $299.00 | $254.15 | $279.15–$288.15 |
| Delivery Time | 5–7 days | 5–7 days | 5–7 days |
In some countries, orders over $200 qualify for free shipping. However, destinations that require air shipping, such as Australia and Singapore, may still have a shipping fee.
The official store also ships from the nearest available region, so delivery to places like the US, the UK, and Australia is usually not an issue.
Fake discount code sites
But be careful—some websites use fake discount codes to mislead visitors.
If you see phrases like “Click here to get a Handy discount code” or “Click here to claim your coupon,” clicking them often just takes you to The Handy’s official website while showing you an expired code that no longer works, such as Handy55.
The thing is, those links usually don’t lower the price at all. You end up paying the same price as you would by going directly to the official site without a valid discount code.
But once you click one of those affiliate links, the referral is tracked. Even if you come back and buy directly from The Handy two weeks later, that person still gets credited.
You’re not losing money as a user, but in practice, it’s like you’re sending likes and tips to those “fake coupon” sites. You’re basically telling them, “Sure, keep making more of these pages to bait people.”
To break it down, here’s what happens when you use a $299 Handy as the base price:
| Link + discount code used | Final price (USD) | Who you end up supporting |
| The Handy discount code for VRPUPU readers | $254.15 | Someone who actually writes useful articles and shares practical VR tips and information. It’s better when people like that can keep going. |
| Fake discount code sites | $299.00 | Site operators who use bait links just to collect commission. If people keep choosing those, more scam-style pages like that will keep spreading. |
When you’re buying the product, it’s better to go to the official site through a source you can actually trust. It just feels a lot safer that way.
Even if you clicked a fake coupon site link before, you can still switch your referral support to another creator. As long as you click the link from the creator you want to support again before buying The Handy, the referral will be reassigned to that person.
That kind of support really motivates me to keep making these guides. It helps me keep putting out clearer guides on both general VR and adult VR.
How to Order from the Handy Official Store
From here, I’ll walk through the step-by-step process for ordering from the official store.
Step 1: Go to The Handy official purchase page
After opening the official website, you’ll first see the shopping section.
When you reach this page, check the announcement bar at the top first. If The Handy is running a temporary promotion, limited-time discount, or new product sale, it will usually be shown there.
Step 2: Choose your device and accessories
There are several categories in the shop, each covering different types of products.
- Sex Toys: This is where you’ll find the main devices, including The Handy 2, and The Handy 2 Pro.
- Bundles: Set packages that include the device along with sleeves or accessories.
- Sleeves: Replacement sleeves, with different lengths and internal textures available.
- Accessories: Add-ons like lubricant and mounting straps.
Once you find what you want, just add it to your cart.
Step 3: Select your device
Here, I’ll use The Handy 2 as an example.
On the product page, you’ll see two options: Standard and Pro.
Pick the model you want, then just click Add to Cart.
Step 4: Add accessories
On the next page, you can add sleeves and other accessories.
If you want to get everything at once, you can add them to your cart here.
Even if you don’t add anything, the device already comes with an official transparent sleeve, so you can use it right away with just the main unit.
Using lube makes the movement much smoother. If it’s your first time, it’s worth picking up a bottle—the difference in comfort is noticeable.
Step 5: Payment
On this page, all the input fields are marked in red, showing exactly what to fill in and where.
You can choose to pay by credit card or PayPal.
One important thing to note is that accessories are not discounted.
For example, if I add a $37 sleeve, the Handy 2 gets a $44.85 discount, while the sleeve remains at full price.
Unboxing and Accessory Check
The first model I bought was the original Handy, and I used it for quite a while.
Recently, I also bought The Handy 2 Pro, so in this article I’ll unbox both generations and go through what comes in the box, the included accessories, and the differences between them.
The Handy
This is the original Handy. When it arrived, it had an extra cardboard box over the outside, so even if someone opened the outer package first, it would be hard to tell at a glance that it was an interactive toy.
When you open the outer box, you’ll see the Handy unit and the manual inside.
Even at this stage, it’s not immediately obvious that it’s an interactive device. The overall packaging is pretty low-key.
If no one explains it, someone might just think it’s something like a Wii controller.
When you take everything out, this is roughly what you’ll find inside the box:
- The Handy unit
- Official sleeve
- Power adapter
- Manual
One thing to note is that the included power plug varies depending on your region.
For example, in Europe you’ll get a plug like the one shown here. In the US, UK, or Australia, you’ll receive a different plug type.
These kinds of plug adapters are pretty cheap. For example, if you want to convert a European plug to a US or Canada Type-A plug, you can just pick one up for about $5 at Walmart or Best Buy.
The included sleeve is made of transparent silicone, and it feels very soft when you hold it.
There’s a piece of foam inside, and it’s better to keep it instead of throwing it away. You can use it during storage to help the sleeve keep its shape.
The Handy 2 Pro
The Handy 2 Pro ships in a plain outer cardboard box.
From the outside, there’s no way to tell what’s inside, so the package looks pretty discreet.
However, once you open the cardboard box, the retail packaging is much less discreet.
So if privacy matters, it’s better to keep the retail box somewhere private or dispose of it after unboxing.
The outer box for The Handy 2 Pro feels sturdier than the first-generation model, and the overall quality has improved quite a lot.
Since this is a $499 model, the packaging also feels more premium.
When you open the outer box, the presentation feels more like a premium gift box.
Each accessory is individually packaged, and the overall presentation feels carefully put together.
After taking everything out, the contents look like this, arranged from right to left.
- TrueGrip Gen 3 sleeve and drying unit
- The Handy 2 Pro, inside the fabric pouch
- USB-C charging cable, at the top
- Mushroom-style Velcro, at the bottom
- Storage bag
Package contents after opening.
The accessories are laid out in order, including the main device, TrueGrip Gen 3 sleeve and drying unit, USB-C charging cable, mushroom-style Velcro strap, and carrying pouch.
Looking at the overall design and materials, you can tell that The Handy 2 Pro feels like a major quality upgrade over the original Handy.
This time, I also bought The Desk Mount Kit – Handsfree as an additional mounting accessory.
This mount lets you attach the Handy 2 or original Handy to a desk, so you don’t need to hold the device while using it.
Because it’s much more stable than holding the device by hand, the experience also feels more natural.
After installation, it looks like this.
The mount feels very solid, and the device locks firmly into place. There’s almost no wobble during use, so it works well hands-free.
Note: If you want to use this mount with the original Handy, you need to buy The Handsfree Cup separately.
After buying The Handy, you’ll probably wonder how to actually use it.
From a VR perspective, usage mainly falls into three categories: video playback, sandbox-style apps, and games.
Check out the articles below for a better idea of what you can do with it and how much it can change the overall VR experience.

FAQ – Common Questions
What is The Handy?
The Handy is a device that moves in sync with video scripts. It connects via Bluetooth or over the internet and syncs with SLR video scripts, moving back and forth according to the script during playback. That’s what makes it feel much more immersive.
What platforms does The Handy work with?
It’s not limited to SexLikeReal (SLR). It also works with some sandbox-style apps and adult games. For example, you can use it with Virt-A-Mate (VAM), which is why it’s considered a pretty standard device in this space.
What’s the difference between The Handy 1 and The Handy 2?
The Handy 1 is a wired model that needs to stay plugged in.
The Handy 2 series uses a built-in battery, so you can use it wirelessly. It’s also a bit quieter during operation.
The Handy 2 Pro goes further, with faster movement speed and an overclock mode.
Does the official Handy store ship to the US, UK, and Australia?
Yes. The official site ships to a wide range of regions, including the US, UK, and Australia. Orders are usually sent from regional warehouses, and delivery typically takes around 5 to 7 days.
Are there discount codes for The Handy?
Yes. Use code “VRPUPU” to get 15% off the Handy 2 or Handy 2 Pro.
Is The Handy noisy?
Noise generally isn’t a major concern.
The original model isn’t marketed as ultra-quiet, but in actual use, I barely noticed the noise. With your room door closed, it’s unlikely to be heard outside.
The second generation is even quieter.
Will it show up as an adult purchase on your credit card statement?
Usually not. In my case, the statement showed something like “ODKI…” along with the transaction date. It doesn’t show what you bought. Even if you look it up, you’ll only find some info about a Norwegian company, and it’s not obvious that it’s related to adult products.
