KEY FEATURES:

Original GAME BOY Inspired Design

This retro mechanical keyboard is meticulously designed around the iconic 1989 GAME BOY aesthetic. From its nostalgic colour palette to the playful joystick accent, every detail evokes classic handheld gaming while maintaining a refined, modern finish.

CNC Aluminium Case with Premium Finish

The custom mechanical keyboard features a precision CNC-machined aluminium case, available in four stunning colour options. An electrostatic powder spray coating enhances durability while delivering a smooth, premium surface texture.

Exceptional Typing Feel and Sound

Engineered for comfort and acoustics, the keyboard delivers a balanced, satisfying typing experience. Internal tuning and material selection work together to produce a clean, controlled sound signature suitable for both gaming and daily use.

Gasket Mount Structure

A gasket-mounted design isolates the plate and PCB from the case, reducing vibration and enhancing typing softness. This structure improves consistency across the board and contributes to its refined acoustic performance.

Tri-Mode PCB Connectivity

Equipped with a tri-mode PCB, the keyboard supports wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless connections. This flexibility allows seamless switching between devices while maintaining stable, low-latency performance.

Compact 65% Layout

The 65% layout strikes a balance between desk efficiency and functionality, retaining essential navigation keys while minimizing footprint. It is ideal for both gaming setups and compact workspaces.

Monochrome Linear Switches

The keyboard is fitted with smooth monochrome linear switches, delivering consistent keystrokes with minimal resistance. These switches complement the retro theme while offering reliable performance for gaming and typing.

Ink Printed Keycaps with Retro Texture

Keycaps vary by colourway: Warm Gray uses ink-printed ABS for an authentic retro feel, while other colours feature durable PBT. All sets preserve crisp legends and comfortable key texture.

Magnetic Joystick Accent Piece

A signature magnetic joystick accent adds character and nostalgia to the design. This decorative element reinforces the GAME BOY theme while allowing easy attachment and removal for customization.
