This post is a collection of images from chiptune file sharing site 8bitcollective.com.

This dude needs to stop producing such insanity. The universe can only handle so much awesomeness at a time and when the threshold is reached, existence will spontaneously implode. Or something.
More pics and a vid of this beast in chiptune action after the jump.

Thretris is a chiptune musician and console customizer (previously featured for his NES mods) who’s whipped up this extra sexy custom keyboard for use with the LSDJ tracking program for the Game Boy. They keyboard lets you actually play each note rather than having to program each note by hand within LSDJ.
The overall paint job on this is killer and the modding process doesn’t even seem all that hard. Thretris has an easy-to-follow tutorial which you can find right here.
If any of you out there are curious about making chiptunes of your own, I highly recommend bookmarking Thretris’s blog. There’s a heap of valuable resources totally worth checking out.
