Back in 2023 we introduced the iconic 8-Bit Seasonal Release which became an instant classic. Following the logical progression, we're excited to announce the next generation of gaming pens – the 16-Bit Side Click. Grab some snacks and one of those foam chairs that folds out into a bed because it's on like a giant ape that collects bananas and jumps into barrels. Or Italian plumbers saving a princess... take your pick.
Inspired by early gaming consoles, the 16-Bit Seasonal Release takes things to the next level. A light gray matte-finish body is complemented by a dark purple semi-gloss tip and button. On the side release button, you’ll find an “EJECT” marking rendered in a font easily recognizable from childhood. The light purple clip features a "scope" deep engraving modeled after the grip of another iconic gaming accessory.
The themed pen is offered in 3 different lengths to maximize ink refill compatibility and comes with a commemorative box, Konami Code magnet, and "Instruction Manual" notebook. Even though the graphics and technology have changed drastically over the years, we hope to capture the spirit of staying up way too late, grinding on impossible levels, and loving every second of it.
16-Bit will be available for purchase starting April 29, 2025 until June 30, 2025.

Fully Custom Cerakote Finishing
Cerakote is a thin coating of ceramic that we apply to the surface of titanium pens in our own paint shop. It's abrasion, chemical, temperature, and scratch resistance but not proof. Hard wear will still show on Cerakote but we love that it gives us the ability to put colors on our pens without adding any serious weight or thickness.
Available for a Limited Time Only
