The Game Boy has four operation buttons labeled "A", "B", "SELECT", and "START", as well as a [[D-pad|directional pad]]. There is a volume control dial on the right side of the device and a similar dial on the left side to adjust the [[contrast (vision)|contrast]]. At the top of the Game Boy, a sliding [[Switch|on-off switch]] and the slot for the Game Boy [[ROM cartridge|cartridges]] are located. The on-off switch includes a physical lockout to prevent users from either inserting or removing a cartridge while the unit is switched on. Nintendo recommends users leave a cartridge in the slot to prevent dust and dirt from entering the system.

A 3.5 mm stereo [[Phone connector (audio)|headphone jack]] is located on the bottom side of the unit which allows users to listen to the audio with the bundled headphones or external speakers.

The right-side of the device offers a port which allows a user to connect to another Game Boy system via a [[Game Link Cable|link cable]], provided both users are playing the same game. The port can also be used to connect a [[Game Boy Printer]]. The link cable was originally designed for players to play head-to-head two-player games such as in ''[[Tetris (Game Boy)|Tetris]]''. However, game developer [[Satoshi Tajiri]] would later use the link cable technology as a method of communication and networking in the popular [[Pokémon (video game series)|''Pokémon'' video game series]].
