Product Description
This is an adapter to be able to play the original Gameboy Tetris multiplayer over the internet at tetris.gblink.io (can be self hosted) It also allows for pokemon gen 1-3 trading over the internet among other projects. If you plan on using only or primarily for Tetris/Pokémon I recommend getting a USB-C version, which is slightly less expensive. If you plan on also using it for other projects I recommend getting the PicoW version

Works Great, plug and play, plus I got the other version as well to practice my soldering. 😀
Only thing is that I think shipping could be improved. It was shipped in Soft Packaging instead of a box, which is fine for most things. However, I think PCB’s should be shipped with more care, especially when traveling across the country.
Nothing arrived broken, but just a word of caution when shipping PCBs long distance.
Assembled version works great, well soldered and professional work seems to be done with this product. Would love to play a round or two of tetris with seller any day.

Seller was very nice and gave me a discount to make up for the costs of international shipping

Works!
Was surprised that it instantly prompted a Chrome notification to open the website for the online Tetris website upon being plugged into my PC.
