Game Roy ADVANCE
The Game Roy ADVANCE by u/ROYMEETSW0RLD started out as a gamepad and ended up as a split.
Published January 31, 2022
ROYMEETSW0RLD of Keystone Caps presents his latest keyboard design (and first IC/GB): the Game Roy ADVANCE.
This keyboard was originally designed to be a standalone left hand only gaming pad.
I designed this because I am a standard staggered layout user with a very small desk space. Even with a 60% keyboard I still found myself slamming my mouse into the side of my board during intense fire fights FPS games.
After a lot of positive feedback from the community, the project resulted in a full board.
Features

- Supports Pro Micro/Elite-C or equivalent
- Supports 1 rotary encoder on each half
- Uses a TRRS cable or Game Boy Color link cable to connect both halves together
