    Best. Keyboard. Ever.
    5 Stars
    Best. Keyboard. Ever.
    I originally bought this because I needed something wireless and I liked the retro look. It was a great purchase. I have quite a few mechanical keyboards, but this is by far my favorite. I’m using the super buttons to snap windows left and right. My husband liked it so much he bought one too. He doesn’t use the super buttons, so now I have two sets attached to my keyboard. The A & B keys on the keyboard itself also are mappable. I’m using those for copy and paste. The keys are just the right amount of clicky. Not too loud and not too quiet. I’ve never used Kailh switches before, but I love them. I have nothing negative to say. It’s just fun to use, and it allows me to think about what I’m typing instead of what keyboard I’m using. I’ve only had it a few days but it has made being at my desk for 8+ hours a day a little easier. If I had any suggestions for 8Bitdo, it would be to make it height adjustable and give us the option of a number pad. Still, it’s near perfection.

    So where do I begin. I am coming from a old GMMK 60% board that had lubed Kailh Red switches, been my child for over 7 years. It was growing out dated, felt bad, and honesty I didn't feel like replacing the switches to get new ones. So I started searching for a keyboard. For context, I love 8bitdo products, they are so amazing for the price, and this keyboard is no exception.

    For 100 bucks (Currently on sale for 90 at the tiem of this review) this is a steal. You get:

    - Wireless Capability ( Bluetooth / 2.4gz ). Even has the dongle and the space to hold it on the back!
    - Kailh Box Whites. These switches are so smooth, and honestly out of the box are probably my new favourite switch right now.
    - Amazing keycaps. These keycaps are amazing. They are good quality and just make the keyboard sound amazing.
    - USB C connection
    - Volume knob
    - Built in Rapid Button like the controllers.
    - The big buttons that are superb quality and can be mapped.
    - IT'S HOTSWAPPABLE.

    This keyboard is so worth the money, and honestly is a steal for the price. You could pay 150 for this board and be happy with it as am I. Also, the power LED is a nice touch and omage to the old console this keyboard is representing. Absolute banger.

    The Good;
    The keyboard is fairly cheap considering the specs, and I think it is very impressive considering. The key switches seem to be Kailh box v2 white's (or a close clone) but not 100% on that, hopefully someone else reviews who can be certain.

    The 2.4GHz has no perceivable lag or dropped inputs, I type around 120WPM at 100% accuracy and couldn't tell anything was off.

    Bluetooth was easy to set up and pair, although only got it to work on Windows and Android, I use Linux and it refused any inputs, hopefully a new driver can fix that in future but for now don't buy it for Linux+Bluetooth unless you can dig deep to find out why.

    Binding the macros is easy, the "big buttons" and the two little A and B buttons where the context-menu and right-super/windows key would normally be are set up the same way, just press the bind button at the top and then hold a key combo, for me I set it to CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+J for B and CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+U on A to switch between US and Kana input on Linux, and it works fine for that.

    Software hasn't been released on their site yet, so I can't report on that, I assume it will be fine as the software is fine for their controllers, e.g. I have an 8bitdo SN30Pro and it easy to use no hassles, but they never make a Linux version anyway so I doubt it'll come in handy for myself regardless.

    The big buttons are fun and feel great to press, they're clicky and using Gateron Greens under the hood. They are dampened with rubber also. I bound it to semicolon and use it in some games where I wanted to do a specific action, like an ult or something, and I can hit it hard and it's pretty fun.

    The bad;
    Legibility on the keycaps could be better, bit fuzzy around the edges, especially noticeable on the red keys like "PRTSC"

    The keyboard is light, not super light but light enough to make it sound a bit hollow. I come from a Model M so I'm spoiled here but definitely lighter than even I was expecting.

    Linux support, in general, I understand this isn't a deal breaker but if you are looking for something to work with a Steam Deck then it's not great. I think 8bitdo really should start considering that market.

    There is no height adjustment at all, no pop out legs or anything, it just sits on the desk with its own slight raise, would've been nice to have some adjustment options though.

    Volume dial isn't analogue like the standard Volume "roller" on keyboards like the Logitech G710+ has on it, basically there's small steps on the volume dial that equate to "10%" when turned (at least on Linux it's 10%). I also find it slightly inconsistent, sometimes it'll step on each "tick" of the dial, but sometimes I tick and nothing happens, would've been nice for a flat 5% on each tick and have it be consistent. Again may be a Linux specific issue but would've enjoyed some consistency.

    No Numlock light. I understand there's no numpad but the light would've been nice to have for when using an external numpad or remapped (e.g. in Linux I could have the numpad light come on to indicate when I'm in Kana mode vs English)

    No backlighting, at all, I don't really care as I touch type but I know for $100 people often expect that RGB Goodness.

    Wrap up;
    For the price, it's a great keyboard considering, the gimmick is actually fun and somewhat useful feature, everything else is fine, nothing spectacular, and Linux support is lacking, more so than some other keyboards, considering basic bluetooth is a non starter in Linux at all. Still, if you're only gonna use 2.4GHz and don't need to write macros using the software, then go for it if you like the design, switches, and are OK with the price. Kana is useful if you want to learn to touch type Japanese or just like the option.

    Big fan of both retro gear and mechanical keyboards, and this one hits the spot. There will be more technical reviews than this one - if you're wondering about the hot-swapping capabilities and key response curves, this isn't your review.

    The execution on the Nintendo style version is just fantastic. The branding, from the housing to the volume and power knobs is on point. The matte grey keys are substantial, have a good texture., and the font work is just plain dead on. The switches themselves have a satisfying but understated "clicky-ness", and through the keystroke there's a Commodore 64 like "thunk" at the end.

    The auxilary "A" and "B" buttons have that same "Office Depot Easy Button" sound, and are easy to program to do pretty much whatever you want.

    The keyboard comes with a dongle, but it wasn't needed as my laptop recognized the keyboard immediately via bluetooth.

    If I had a complaint, it'd be that there is no numeric keypad, and no version that has one. But that's my choice...not a design flaw.

    Very happy with the purchase, and look forward to plunking away at this one.

    Big fan of both retro gear and mechanical keyboards, and this one hits the spot. There will be more technical reviews than this one - if you're wondering about the hot-swapping capabilities and key response curves, this isn't your review.

    Love it. It's nice and heavy, and at the perfect angle without having to deploy legs that always collapse. Looks very cool. But man, typiing on it.... It's the smoothest mechanical I've ever typed on. It's not too loud, but still mechanical clicky goodness. The 2.4 dongle has a magnetic click in, and hides just below. Though I'm using it with USB-C connection. Bluetooth also works great. I love it so much I had to buy the Atari looking red one too, for work. I also like the big buttons. Mapped one to open Teams, and another to open Microsoft Terminal. Works great. Easy to map too, with the one button at the top.

    Update: Bought the other one. Delivered super fast. Everyone at work thought it was super awesome, and laughed at the big buttons I hotkeyed. Love it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars you grew up on Famicom? buy it and enjoy the nostalgia and the quality.

    Pros:
    -If you grew up in that era you will appreciate the clicky feel of the keys when pressed.
    -It has a nice weight and rubber feet so it won't be move around on your table. The big buttons are just as heavy as the keyboard and as stable too.
    -I appreciate the knob style of the volume, didn't realize how convenient it is to just crank it up or down that easily and with granularity vs a button.
    -If you grew up with Family Computer then this will hit your nostalgia just right. Red colors and the beige is just as good as it looked back then. The retro circuit light look for the power button is so appealing. The texture of the keyboard and big buttons has a bit of the commodore 64 graininess but just slightly.
    -The customization and macros that can be set up on the keyboard without software is amazing and very straightforward (use the instruction flashcards)
    -Big buttons are clicky and have a fun factor (lasts a week though). I can imagine setting some retro game up with my 4 gear old where they can use the two big buttons.
    -Overall the qualityand feel of this product doesn't look cheap at all.

    Cons:
    -I stopped using the big buttons after a week. They take up the same size and space as if this keyboard came with a number pad. They also physically connect with the keyboard via a wired headphone jack that's pretty long making it unwieldly.
    -8bitdo software is barely decent, it wasn't intuitive UX flows could have been more refined. There was a time I didn't know if macros were saved and had to restart the app.
    -No palm rest, this isn't my con but it's an FYI.
    -Not my con, but the keys are very loud. Not for your bedroom PC if you have a partner.
    -Overall Cons aren't a deal breaker, I wished they added a num pad instead of the big buttons but I'm fine either way.

    For reference, upgrading from an Anne Pro II keyboard.
    Okay, so sure, there aren't any flashy RBG lights, but it's a 'retro' keyboard, and they didn't have that back then. And to tell you the truth, the whole 'assignable RGB' thing gets old after you've had it for a bit.
    That being said,
    I already have a device from 8BitDo, the original NES30 controller you see in that pic. And that controller is like over a decade old now and it still works just as good as the day I got it....of course the battery life is not as good, but still get 1.5 hours of play without a USB cable for sure.
    So, when I saw this keyboard come out, it was not even a tough decision. I saw 2 key things:

    Mechanical board
    "Kailh" branded clicky & tactile switches

    Best I can describe the feel and audio of the keystrokes.....like a Commodore 64, but brand new, like the day you got it, with a slightly muted rebound sound on the release. Clicky, but not 'treble' clicky, more of a mid-range, meaty click. Not heavy to press. Maybe Gateron Blue Switches with a foam insulated mainboard is a good way to describe these Kailh switches, but a little lighter compared to the Gaterons in my Anne Pro.

    Super low latency on 2.4Ghz
    2 fat emergency buttons for games.

    Hope this helps those who are undecided.
    Very happy with this keyboard. 2 for 2 8BitDo !!!

    Beautiful.

    Despues de 2 meses con el ya puedo dar mi opinion, e tenido varios teclados entre ellos el razer black widow v3 mini, asus rog falchion y anne pro 2 y puedo decir que funciona mejor que todos ellos por via wifi, no e tenido ni un solo error con los otros los devolvi por que todos eran inconsistentes fallaba alguna tecla cuando apretaba, pero con el teclado 8bitido ni un solo error e tenido, por via cable funciona maravillosamente, este y el anne pro 2 por cable son de los mejor que tenido, los switch son de clicky es lo unico que igual no te puede gustar por el ruido pero no es excesivo, pero funciona perfectamente para juegos competitivos que es para lo que yo lo uso tiene los interruptores Kailh Box V2 white, que son una gozada la verdad yo venia de unos gateron red del anne pro 2 y estos me han gustado mas como funcionan, en resumen si buscais un teclado que funcione bien por via wireless y por cable con muy baja latencia pero que muy baja este es tu teclado.

    First, it looks amazing.
    I have never been a clicky switch person, but I absolutely love them here.
    The stabilizers are amazing including the spacebar that does not rattle. My expensive and high end Keychron Q1 Max's spacebar is ticky and annoying. Here, it's perfect.

    I think I'm gonna buy a second one and replace the switches with gateron jupiter bananas...

    For a stock mechanical keyboard, this is a fantastic product.
    Everything from connectivity features, design, look & feel hits the spot.
    The default switches sound great, however are clicky and very loud. This is not a problem since the board is hotswappable, so you can put the swithes that best suit you and your environment.

    Love the product.
