Overview

 Bring the nostalgic feel of classic handheld gaming to your pocket with the Game Click. This fidget toy uses a standard mechanical MX switch to provide a satisfying, tactile "click" every time you press the screen. Designed with a retro aesthetic, it’s the perfect accessory for gamers and keyboard enthusiasts alike.

For anyone wondering, for the green on the screen, I used Sunlu Matte Olive green filament.  https://amzn.to/4kA8DPD (US) / https://amzn.to/4bWZsXw (UK)
