I know Mario is coming out on the Switch, but what about Mario on the keyswitch? Before we get to that. If you're a fan of the two Mario brothers, then we have just the keycap for you. Jellykey, a manufacturer of keycaps in a variety of shapes and sizes, has released a new series of keycaps that harken back to the early days of gaming.

The 8-bit "Pipeline City" series is available in 1u (single key), 1.5u (tab), 2u (backspace), 2.25u (US enter/shift), and 6.25u (space key) sizes, a world that almost every gamer over 25 knows are condensed into one keycap.

While unofficial (these keycaps do not have Nintendo's seal of approval), each keycap leans heavily on the various worlds of Super Mario Bros. and is truly a nostalgia trip. If you're interested in getting your own, it's worth checking which key sizes and stems your keyboard is compatible with, as they can vary by region and manufacturer Most of Jellykey's switches are most prevalent on the best mechanical gaming keyboards They are compatible with Cherry MX stems.

Jellykey sent us a prototype shift key so we could take a look at it before mass production, and even a glance at it shows just how much attention to detail they put into recreating retro gaming.

As ever, Jellykey's group buy of switches is being held for just a short while: you can participate until July 24, 2020. The keycaps cost $46 apiece, while the space key is a little more expensive at $69. There are four designs, each with an overarching theme: Pastel Outpost, Mad Artisan's Red Keep, Super Indie Underground, and Orion the Ranger.

If you want to see Mario make his debut on the PC, this is probably the next best thing (and a much more realistic goal). After all, there is no other way to get Mario on PC. Especially not one with 4K textures. If you don't believe me, you can see a complete breakdown of Nintendo's intellectual property copyrights here; Jellykey seems confident that they've avoided any legal issues with their 8-bit lineup.
