You are about to buy a machine, so let's treat it like one. The Handy, Kiiroo Keon 2 and Lovense Solace Pro, measured on the numbers that matter for edging: control latency, stroke, speed, mounting and sleeves - by the developer of The Edgy, the edging app that drives all three.
The rows that matter for edging first: how each one talks to The Edgy.

| Stroke length | The Handy 20-125 mm | The Handy 10-110 mm | Kiiroo Keon 295 mm | Lovense Solace ProUp to 79 mm (adjustable)Lovense FAQ, verbatim: "The thrust length can be adjusted to your preference, up to 3.11 in / 79 mm". Lovense gives the adjustment step as 0.65 mm. |
| Top speed (mm/s) | The Handy 2Standard 32-400 / Pro 32-450 (overclock 800)Official store spec table, verbatim: "Speed 32-400 mm/s" (Standard) and "32-450 mm/s" (Pro), "Overclocking: No / Yes (1-800 mm/s)". Overclocking the Pro voids the warranty, per the same page. | The Handy 1Not publishedHandy publishes The Handy 1 in strokes/min only, with no mm/s figure - unlike The Handy 2, which it publishes in mm/s only. I am not converting one into the other: see the note under the table. | Kiiroo Keon 228.5 min, up to 684 (Finisher Mode)Kiiroo spec sheet, verbatim: "Min speed: 28.5 mm/sec", "Max speed: 684 mm/sec (Finisher Mode)". The 684 is Finisher Mode only - a one-button instant override to max power, not a speed you run a whole session at. Kiiroo does not publish the ceiling outside Finisher Mode. | Lovense Solace ProNot publishedLovense publishes the stroke rate but no mm/s figure, so this cell stays empty rather than carrying a conversion: see the note under the table on why the two units do not convert. |
| Stroke rate (strokes/min) | The Handy 2Not publishedHandy publishes The Handy 2 in mm/s only, with no strokes/min figure - unlike The Handy 1, which it publishes in strokes/min only. I am not converting one into the other: see the note under the table. | The Handy 110-600Official store spec table, verbatim: "Strokes per minute: 10 - 600", and on the same page "Brushless motor, reaches up to 10 strokes per sec". That rate is reached at a short stroke, not at the full 110 mm. | Kiiroo Keon 2Up to 300Kiiroo spec sheet, verbatim: "Strokes/min: Up to 300". The Keon 2 is the only one of the four whose maker publishes both units. | Lovense Solace Pro300Lovense FAQ, verbatim: "It can reach up to 300 strokes per minute", and its own comparison table lists "Max thrust speed 300/min". Note this is a self-thrusting device, so a stroke rate is not directly comparable to a handheld one anyway. |
| Hands-free | The Handy 2Yes, with mount (sold separately)Official FAQ: "Do I have to hold The Handy 2 the whole time? No. The Handy 2 has two built-in mounting points for handsfree setups." The store also states it "works upright, flipped, or with VESA". The mounting points are built in, but the Desk Mount Kit itself is sold separately: it is not in the box. | The Handy 1Yes, with mount (sold separately)No mount in the box: Handy sells the Desk Mount Kit separately (its Full Handsfree Bundle is the device plus the mount plus the Handsfree Cup). My cup broke at the screw insert, while the desk mount itself did its job. I run mine on photo gear now. | Kiiroo Keon 2Yes, with clamp (sold separately)Not in the box: Kiiroo sells the Keon Table Clamp as a separate accessory, worded "Lock Keon in Place. Go Completely Hands-Free". | Lovense Solace ProYes, self-thrusting (no rig)The only one of the four that needs no mount bought on top: it does the moving itself. On the other three, hands-free is a paid accessory (Handy Desk Mount Kit, Keon Table Clamp). |

| Fleshlight / other sleeves | The Handy 2ClickOn (Fleshlight compat. announced)Announced, not shipping. The Handy 2 store page words it as "Future-ready, with Fleshlight compatibility" - treat it as a roadmap item, not a feature you can use today. | The Handy 1Community adapter (too heavy, not advised)Community-made adapters exist, but a Fleshlight in its case is heavy: the motor has to work hard and heats up. I would not run one on a Handy 1. | Kiiroo Keon 2Universal Fit (paid accessory)Kiiroo spec sheet: "Kiiroo strokers + universal stroker compatibility (The Universal Fit accessory required, sold separately)". Kiiroo's own store sells it as the "Keon 2 Universal Fit", worded "Required for using Fleshlight & other brand sleeves with Keon 2". Some owners report a Fleshlight fits the native cradle without it, a tight fit that works - unverified, on my list for the test unit. | Lovense Solace ProProprietary (Fleshlight unconfirmed)The Solace Pro takes its own sleeve, and Lovense sells no Fleshlight adapter. Users do report that Fleshlight sleeves, slightly bigger than the Solace ones, fit and work anyway. I have not verified it, so I am not putting it in the table as a yes: it is on my list for the test unit. |

Some values carry a note: hover the dotted ones on desktop, on a phone the note sits right under the value. The app row is only about what The Edgy needs: every one of these also ships with its maker's own app (Kiiroo has FeelConnect, and Handy and Lovense each have theirs), and they all work with plenty of third-party players besides mine. Handy figures come from the official store pages, Keon 2 figures from Kiiroo's spec sheet. Solace Pro figures come from Lovense's own product page and FAQ, though I have not run one myself yet. No prices here - they vary by region and change often, so check the live price via each link.
On the two speed rows: makers do not publish speed in the same unit, so it gets one row per unit rather than one row mixing both. Handy publishes The Handy 2 in mm/s and The Handy 1 in strokes/min - same maker, two generations, two units. And the two do not convert into each other, because a stroke rate is meaningless without the stroke length it was measured at: ten full-length 110 mm strokes per second would work out to 1100 mm/s, well past the 800 mm/s an overclocked Handy 2 Pro is rated for. So the Handy 1 hits its 600 strokes/min at a short stroke, not at its full 110 mm - and no device is at top rate and full length at the same time. Where a maker publishes nothing in a unit, the cell says so instead of carrying a number I worked out myself.

No single stroker wins on everything. Pick by how you actually play, not by the biggest number on the box.
Talks to The Edgy over its native Wi-Fi API - no companion app, no Bluetooth stack in the middle. The Edgy streams position commands to it several times per second, which is what tight edging control feels like. Longer 125 mm stroke and a stronger motor than the Handy 1, now cordless.
See The Handy 2The one that started it for me. Mains-powered, so output never sags and a session never dies on a battery - and the same native Wi-Fi link to The Edgy as the Handy 2.
See The Handy 1The spec-sheet answer to "I already have sleeves I like": 95 mm stroke at up to 300 strokes/min, battery or wall power, and a Universal Fit accessory that takes Fleshlight and other brands. Pairs to The Edgy over Bluetooth through the free, open-source Intiface app.
See Kiiroo Keon 2All four go hands-free with the right setup, but this is the only self-thrusting one: it cradles you and does the moving itself, so there is no mount, no clamp, nothing to rig. Your hand stays on the arousal knob. Pairs to The Edgy over Bluetooth via Intiface.

I came to this from Fleshlights, which I still love. What sold me on an automatic stroker was sync: funscripts, cock hero and PMVs played back faithfully by a machine instead of my own wrist. So I bought a Handy 1, and that part genuinely delivers.
The problem showed up in actual sessions: with a classic funscript player you are completely dependent on the script and the artist's style. And sensitivity is not a constant. Some days, a session you spent fifteen minutes setting up (door check, clamp, device, sleeve, lube, video, headset, one more door check) is over in a few minutes - or seconds. Other days you struggle to get into it at all, and the script does not care either way. And when the climax comes, a classic player leaves you at the mercy of whatever the script happens to be doing at that exact moment.
That is why I built The Edgy: a player where you modulate the intensity of the whole session live, switch to a pattern that works better for you on the fly, and hit one key at the moment of truth to finish exactly how you want - slow deep strokes, tip tease, or a ruin.
It is also the lens for this page: the spec sheet decides what a stroker can physically do, but the connection decides what an app is allowed to do with it mid-session. On sourcing: the Handy verdicts come from years of daily development and use on real hardware. The Keon 2 and Solace Pro rows are each maker's own published specs plus protocol behavior for now - test units are on the way, and I will fold hands-on session notes into this page as they arrive.
Edging is not about raw power, it is about control. The best edging device is an interactive stroker that an arousal-control app can drive in real-time - slowing down, shortening its stroke, or pausing the instant you get close, then building back up. That rules out most automatic masturbators with fixed, canned patterns. What matters for edging specifically is low-latency control, an adjustable stroke range the software can narrow on demand, and reliable sync with an app like The Edgy. The Handy, Kiiroo Keon 2 and Lovense Solace Pro all qualify. They differ in how they connect (native Wi-Fi vs Bluetooth), how they move (a reciprocating sleeve you hold vs a self-thrusting cradle), and which sleeves they take. This page compares them on exactly those axes.
It depends on how you like to play. For the tightest real-time control, The Handy connects to an edging app like The Edgy over native Wi-Fi (lowest latency). To use your own Fleshlight or other sleeves, the Kiiroo Keon 2 takes them with its Universal Fit. For fully hands-free play, the Lovense Solace Pro is a self-thrusting cradle. All three are driven by The Edgy in real-time, which inversely reduces stimulation as your arousal rises.
The Handy connects to The Edgy over native Wi-Fi, which gives the lowest latency. The Keon 2 connects over Bluetooth through the free Intiface app and takes Fleshlight and other sleeves with the Universal Fit accessory. Pick The Handy for the tightest sync, the Keon 2 for sleeve choice.
The Handy is a handheld reciprocating stroker with a native Wi-Fi connection - you hold it or mount it. The Solace Pro is a self-thrusting cradle that moves on its own, so it is truly hands-free. Choose The Handy for the tightest sync, the Solace Pro if you want nothing to hold.
Yes. The Edgy is a free browser-based edging game and app that drives all of them in real-time. The Handy connects over Wi-Fi with no install; the Kiiroo Keon 2, Lovense Solace Pro and 750+ other devices connect through the free Intiface app over Bluetooth. As your arousal rises, the algorithm slows the device, narrows its stroke, and adds hold pauses to keep you on the edge.
A self-thrusting stroker moves on its own and cradles you, so you do not hold the device against yourself. The Lovense Solace Pro is self-thrusting. The Handy and Kiiroo Keon 2 are handheld or mounted reciprocating strokers: the sleeve moves up and down while you hold the unit in place.
For edging specifically, the best male masturbator is not the most powerful one - it is one an app can control in real-time. A basic automatic masturbator runs fixed, canned stroke patterns you cannot interrupt, which is the opposite of edging. An app-controlled stroker like The Handy, Kiiroo Keon 2 or Lovense Solace Pro lets an edging app such as The Edgy slow the motion, shorten the stroke and add hold pauses the moment you get close, then build back up. That real-time control is what makes a masturbator good for edging rather than just for finishing.

Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the brand pays me a commission at no extra cost to you, and that is what pays for the hosting and the hours that go into building this. It is the reason the app can stay free.
What it does not buy: my opinion. I am one developer, not a review farm. No brand pays for a spot on this page, for a ranking, or for a good word. Commission rates differ between brands and I do not rank on them. Specs are sourced from the manufacturers and stated as such, hands-on impressions are my own, and the shortcomings stay in even when they cost me a sale. If a device is not right for you, I would rather say so than sell it to you.
