“Simply slot the TypePak into a keyboard with a compatible Game Boy cartridge slot, flip the power switch, and you’ve got yourself a working wireless keyboard.”

This incredible 58-key split ergo wireless keyboard by FlatFootFox runs on Game Boy Advance cartridges. Excellent concept, great execution, and no vintage carts were harmed in the process. Do yourself a favor and read the build log.

Overhead shot of a split wireless mechanical keyboard. It has an ortho staggered layout, a 3D printed purple chassis, purple modifier keys, white-on-grey alpha legends, and a translucent Game Boy Advance cartridge on each side holding its microcontrollers.
The brains of the TypeBoy keyboard are, of course, inside its Game Boy Advance cartridge.
