The Handy
Connect The Handy, Handy 2, Handy 2 Pro, or The Oh! to ToyControl. The Handy family is cloud-controlled, you paste a Connection Key from handyverse.com once.
The Handy and its siblings (Handy 2, Handy 2 Pro, The Oh!) are cloud-controlled, not Bluetooth. You do not pair them in your browser; you paste a Connection Key from your Handy account once, and the toy is reachable from then on as long as it is online.
Before you start
- The Handy must be on and online (showing as online at handyverse.com).
- You need your Connection Key from the My Handy page. The key is 5 to 32 characters of mixed lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and digits, and it is case-sensitive.
- The phone or computer running ToyControl does not need to be on the same Wi-Fi as the Handy; the connection goes through the Handy cloud.
Pair The Handy
- Open ToyControl at toycontrol.app in Chrome or Edge.
- Open handyverse.com → My Handy on another tab and copy your Connection Key. The cloud is case-sensitive, so copy it exactly.
- In ToyControl, click the + in the Devices section.
- Pick the matching card: The Handy (original), The Handy 2, The Handy 2 Pro, or The Oh! (by Sweet Tech).
- Paste the Connection Key.
- Click Connect.
- The Handy appears in the sidebar with a green dot.
Test it
Click Test toy at the bottom. The Handy should run a short stroke pattern.
Notes by model
- The Handy (original) and The Handy 2 behave identically in ToyControl. The 2 has a stronger motor.
- The Handy 2 Pro is the higher-end model in the same family.
- The Oh! is a vibrator built on the Handy platform. Support is beta; vibration is driven through the velocity channel, so the motion can feel off compared to a real vibrator. Use the in-app "Report a bug" button if it does not work the way you expect.
Troubleshooting
- Connection Key rejected. Copy it exactly, including capital letters. The cloud rejects the same characters in different case.
- The Handy says "offline" in ToyControl. Open handyverse.com → My Handy in another tab; the toy must show as online there.
- Cuts out mid-session. Cloud control needs a stable internet connection on the Handy and on your computer.
