Why do you say that? Did you have a bad experience ordering it from Germany?
The thing is, I cannot order it from germany at all.
Ali-link:

For me it states that the item is sold out or the vendor has stopped selling it (that was last time I've checked), but that's just an automated/generated message, not accurate and not true:
- "Einige Artikel sind leider nicht verfügbar. Bitte ändern Sie Ihre Bestellung." -> Sold out
- "Dieses Produkt kann nicht in das ausgewählte Land versandt werden." -> Not for germans
I've contacted one of the guys of FunOSR on their discord, it turned out that there are some problems with shipping/selling to germany (I would lie if I would say that I understood this completely, ... from what I've got it seems some strange german laws and/or bureaucracy is in the way.)
He told me he's at it and will report back, that's a few days ago, I will wait some more and ask around there then.
But if you have an idea/link/possibility, ... let me know!

not really knowing how to position it correctly (and I tried a lot). It feels off.
I think it's important that it doesn't move around, should be fixed.
Some people use a 'screen-holder' ("vesa").
Then there is a 'holder' they sell on the official page, but it looks a little too expensive for what you get to me (hey, a review on that would be of interest to me, especially in terms of 'if it's worth the money')
What I do:
I sit on a chair, the other way around (with the back of the chair in front of me), the back of the chair prevents it from moving forward.
Me/my body prevents it from moving backward.
To prevent it from twisting/rolling I use such 'Velcro tape alike', I have no idea how to call those 2 different parts of that tape, one has those 'claws' the other is the soft side, I hope you get what I mean, that tape is 'self-adhesive'.
- One claw-tape around the top of the handy.
- A long part, double-sided-soft, so it has the soft part on each side, just one end has the claws (I know, I know, my technical english sucks).
- The long double-sided strap goes all the way under the chair and back to the seat plate where the handy is, it connects to the claws of the handy on the down side, and on the upper side with the end of itself (here you use some power to have it tight).
That way the handy has a bit room for movement for slight adjusts but stays in place good enough for handsfree.
The stroker part I place a bit less than 45° (like that male sign, the circle with the arrow), placed on the left of Mr. Happy (I'm lefthander, so the toy on the left -> the 'force' comes from left like it would in 'manual mode', righthanders might prefer to place it on the right?)
This is just a hint (again, I don't want to convince somebody, I just try to express that it's a great toy for me personally and pointing out some of it's advantages), ... I agree totally on what you say about that everybody feels stuff differently, and maybe it's just not your thing.
Best greetings,
Markus
