Angry Miao has drawn on neon-soaked 90s nostalgia and retro console design to create the aesthetic of its new mechanical keyboard.
TheNintendo consoles of the 90shad a particular kind of style to them. Textured grey plastic accented with pops of bright color will be what many remember from those bygone days.
As an appeal to 90s nostalgia,Angry Miaohas gone the extra mile with its latest RGB 65 keyboard. Not only does the design pay homage to theoriginal Game Boy, but it also incorporates the bright neon colors associated with the decade.
The bottom right corner of the keyboard is curved, with three cutouts that mimic the iconic speaker grill on the originalGame Boy. On the underside of the keyboard, images of the classic A and B buttons have been molded into the plastic, and the shape of a Nintendo D-Pad adorns the USB-C port.
The retro aesthetic is even more apparent on the White version of the keyboard. The mostly white keycaps are supplemented here and there with dark grey, such as on the backspace, enter, and spacebar. In addition, the WASD keys are picked out in Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red. This arrangement pays homage to the buttons on the Japanese and EuropeanSNEScontrollers.
Angry Miao has launched aKickstarter campaignfor the RGB 65. The promotional images on the crowdfunding page show off what the keyboard can do, including the LED dot matrix display showing pixel art images of Pikachu and Gengar.
