In a world where keyboards remain stubbornly tethered to desks, an interesting experiment has emerged from the workshop of Adam LeBlanc. His creation, the Schist01, is a wrist-mounted keyboard that feels like it leapt from the world of Cyberpunk 2077.
A modder named GouldFish on Games has crafted something Nintendo never dared to—a screenless Game Boy Advance console. It’s a project that transforms the handheld GBA into a classic game console that some could only dream about, and most certainly wouldn’t look out of place next to an NES.
James Bruton, an inventor synonymous with audacious robotics, has unveiled a creation that pushes the boundaries of what a hobbyist can achieve in a garage. His latest project, a rideable Transformers-style robot is a functional, shape-shifting vehicle that will definitely turn some heads in public.
Japan’s car culture thrives on bold statements, and T-Demand, a tuner with a knack for turning heads, has taken Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y into uncharted territory. These electric vehicles, typically seen as sleek, minimalist machines, now embody the rebellious spirit of Bosozoku—a Japanese subculture known for its extravagant, in-your-face car modifications. With air suspension, aggressive wheel alignments, and a stance that skims the pavement, these Teslas are as much a cultural flex as they are a feat of engineering.

A modder going by u/michaelthatsit on Reddit has taken Valve’s Steam Deck, the portable gaming beast, and flipped it into something wildly different: a pint-sized PC crammed inside a wireless keyboard shell, dubbed Bento. This DIY masterpiece is a flex of pure ingenuity, stuffing the muscle of a handheld console into a form factor that could blend right into your office desk.
Nintendo’s Switch 2 has barely hit shelves, and already it’s sparking clever workarounds that make you wonder why you didn’t think of them first. One standout discovery? You can turn your iPhone into a webcam for the console, sidestepping the $55 official Nintendo camera. It’s not as simple as plugging in a cable, but with a few affordable accessories and a free app, you can have your iPhone beaming your face into Mario Kart World or video chats with friends.
Matthew Perks, the inventor behind DIY Perks on YouTube, has a habit of making wild ideas feel real, and his latest project—a desk that wirelessly powers everything from monitors to speakers with zero visible cables—might just be his most innovative project yet. Teaming up with Etherdyne Technologies, Perks has built a workspace that looks ripped from a sci-fi flick, marrying a clean aesthetic with some seriously clever tech.
