This compact mechanical keyboard looks like a love letter to the Game Boy Advance

A mechanical keyboard with gaming handheld-style shoulder buttons is not something you see everyday

Prototypist Keyboy Advance, a Gameboy Advanced inspired keyboard

For many people who grew up in the early 2000s, the Game Boy Advance was the handheld they carried everywhere. The Keyboy Advance is trying to bring some of that nostalgia to a modern desk, using the wide, landscape-style silhouette of Nintendo’s 2001 handheld as the basis for a compact mechanical keyboard kit. It is not an official Nintendo product, but the visual references are easy to spot.

How much Game Boy Advance is in the design?

Sony may have been digging the grave of physical PlayStation games for years.

Sony’s Austria disc plant shift suggests physical PlayStation games were already on the way out

The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

Sony recently announced that physical game discs for new PlayStation releases will end in January 2028, and the timing immediately raised questions.

The decision came shortly after Rockstar reportedly generated more than $3 billion in revenue from preorders of GTA 6, including digital editions and code-in-a-box physical copies. That led some critics and fans to wonder whether GTA 6’s massive digital success had pushed Sony into making such a major call.
