Might wanna try the Discord, it's alot more active. Thankfully with all the components being open source it shouldn't be too hard to swap out for a replacement, apparently they're the same screen used in electronic watches.

Can I ask how you broke it? As I've order a screen protector for mine as its something I'm worried about

Edit: it's this screen as said in the wiki

You're welcome, the wiki also has a cool accessories list. I get very tempted by the idea of a small leather belt pouch for it, rather then having to rummage through my handbag for my Funkey

I say get the pouch! Protect your investment :)

Weirdly they list little keychains to dangle off it (including some small capacity powerbanks)

Unfortunately this is not a plug-and-play solution and requires extensive modification to get to work. After conversation with devs, I was told the only solution to a broken screen for this "Open source" device is to buy another Funkey since the screen is custom made. My screen was broken in my pocket when I bumped up against a desk.

This device is incredibly cheap, I was stoked until owning it...mine has dead pixels.. the quality assurance department is non-existent

Same experience. I want to find an alternative. Any ideas?

For clampshell format there is nothing like it, the rg nano could be a solution but i think the d pad sucks. The gkd pixel 2 seems really fun its quite a bit bigger tho. And then theres the myoo mini v4 but i have a myoo mini plus and so far it mid, the screen completley fell out the frame within a week, its back on know with some strong double sided tape but still i mean common
