If you've ever wished your fidget toy were a mini games console with an OLED display and six key switches, you can build one yourself with some electronics know-how.

Well, more accurately, you need a lot of electrical know-how, as demonstrated by user wjddnjdnd's project at Instructables (via Hackaday). Playfully titled the GameBox Clicker, this project is a "modular magnet key game console", and it can currently run Pong, Snake, and Stair Game (which is reportedly inspired by the mobile game Infinite Stairs). It even has a small hole in it that you can fit a lanyard loop or keyring chain through.
