CES 2026 has delivered its share of surprises, but perhaps none as eyebrow-raising as OhDoki's unveiling of the Handy 2 Pro, an 'overclockable' update to its smart stroking device. The Norwegian company is making waves with a device that pushes the boundaries of personal technology, sparking conversations about innovation and its applications. While the standard Handy 2 offers improvements, it's the 'Pro' model that's capturing attention with its enhanced power and potential.
Power and Performance: The Handy 2 Pro's Key Features
The core difference between the Handy 2 and the Handy 2 Pro lies in battery life and performance. The Pro boasts a significantly larger battery, extending usable life from one hour to five. This extended power enables a 'Turbo' mode and the possibility of 'overclocking' the device, although OhDoki representatives caution against pushing the hardware too far, citing concerns about the motor's aggressive action. The Verge reports early hands-on impressions express concerns about potential damage to the device, or even the user.
Beyond raw power, the Handy 2 Pro includes practical design improvements. These include a USB-C charging port capable of charging other devices, a click-on mounting system for sleeves, and tripod screws for compatibility with various equipment. A dot matrix display on the side shows speed and stroke length, offering control independent of a smartphone app. These additions suggest a focus on user experience and versatility.
Connectivity and the Future of Intimacy
OhDoki emphasizes the connectivity features of the Handy 2 Pro, highlighting its compatibility with VR and video content platforms, including adult entertainment sites like Xhamster. The company has also partnered with a cam platform, expanding opportunities for remote intimacy. This integration raises questions about the evolving landscape of digital relationships and the role of technology in facilitating human connection. These features are available for both the standard and Pro models.
The Handy 2 and Handy 2 Pro are launching today, with the standard model priced at $299 and the Pro version at $499. The introduction of the Handy 2 Pro at CES 2026 signals a continued blurring of lines between technology, entertainment, and personal experiences, prompting ongoing discussions within the tech community and beyond about the ethical and societal implications of such devices. The regulatory framework surrounding such products remains nascent, and it will be interesting to observe how lawmakers and regulatory bodies respond to the emergence of increasingly sophisticated and intimate technologies.
