Absolutely love this keyboard. First off the look is amazing, of course. The key feel is just wonderful, makes typing a joy. There’s a clickiness to them, but it’s not that super sharp click like a Cherry MX Blue. More muted and less noisy (the review complaining about how loud it is obviously doesn’t have much experience with mechanical keyboards). And the build quality is fantastic, just oozes premium quality. The only thing that held me back from buying one of these before was that they previously only had the tenkeyless models, and I prefer the full 108 key style. Now with this model finally being available, it’s easily my favorite keyboard ever.

I have other 8bitdo items for my Nintendo Switch and love 8bitdo. This keyboard is just phenomenal and is the best keyboard I’ve ever had experience with. It has a retro feel along with a new modern feel. I love the big red buttons and have them set for what I wanna use them for and I just can’t say anything bad here. I uploaded a simple picture to help someone else with making a choice on ordering one but, no complaints.

The styling and colors of the keyboard is impeccable. The build quality feels very good, with absolutely no deck flex. The keyboard has some heft to it and doesn’t move around on my desk at all. I’ve only used it on the USB cable so I have no opinion on the wireless function or battery life.
The key action is AMAZING. It’s just an absolute pleasure to type on. The weight and breakway point and click feel are perfect. Sound is minimal and won’t annoy your cube neighbor. The keys are perfectly sculpted and feel great. I haven’t even unboxed the big dual button thing yet so no comment on that either.
Overall it’s a superb value. It looks great, feels great, and gets comments from everyone who drops by my desk. My only complaint is they don’t have a C64 version with a number pad yet! Get on that so I can buy another.

I love the design of the keyboard the sound of the keys and the overall feeling.
I’m using it both office and gaming and i like it very much.
It comes with 2 separate buttons, that you can connect to the keyboard and assign them as quick commands.

Articolo arrivato in perfette condizioni e in anticipo rispetto ai tempi previsti.
Premettendo che è la mia prima tastiera meccanica, mi sono trovato subito benissimo. La tastiera è stupenda, il look retrò è fantastico e i colori perfetti.
Suono dei tasti molto soddisfacente. Quello della barra spaziatrice l’ho notato più pesante degli altri, guardando qualche recensione video effettivamente un po’ si nota, c’è da abituarsi. Il resto è molto “clicky”, che può piacere come no, ma sicuramente suona vintage.
Collegamento al pc con chiavetta istantaneo senza alcun problema. Inoltre, settando il linguaggio su italiano ma la tastiera su US International, fare le lettere accentate si è confermato un non-problema, quindi prevedo di non aver alcun problema ad adattarmi al layout.
I “super buttons” sono di dubbia utilità, infatti aggiungono cavo e quindi disordine dove non servirebbe, ma sono soddisfacenti da premere e aggiungono stile alla mia scrivania.
In sintesi, davvero un prodotto fantastico, 8bitDo raggiunge e supera le mie aspettative, almeno al day 1 di utilizzo.

Upon opening the box, I knew I was in for a treat. I haven’t had a mechanical keyboard since the 90s. This one popped out at me, simply because I’ve bought one of their products in the past, and the stylish looks harkening back to the NES. It’s a beautiful keyboard, and the sound and feel are simply divine to both my ears and fingers. I’m writing this over inflated review just as an excuse to type on it.
It was simply plug and play with both the USB connection, and the 2.4GHz USB stick. I haven’t tried the Bluetooth connectivity, but I’d imagine it would would pretty easily given my experience with their receivers I’ve bought in the past.
I really enjoy the idea of the super buttons. For now I use them for start/stop for recording. Works out great, and the fact that you can scroll through different configurations will surely serve me in the future. It is fun to press the giant red buttons.
Everything about this keyboard feels premium. From the weight of the device, the feel of the keys and the sound and feel of the switches beneath them. Sure there’s no back light, but do you really need the RGB porn?
Without a doubt, hands down, an amazing product from 8BitDo.
Keep up the good work.

Excellent. Looks great obviously but also nice clack sound and feel. Big A/B buttons have heavy base. I keep mine wired but it’s nice it doesn’t have to be.

I love the sound I love the quality and this thing even puts up with my cats sitting on it. Ruined a lot of keyboard because the cats ruin the keys but this holds up to that. I love the look of it too reminds me of what we had like 20 years ago.

Keys are so responsive. I play a lot of computer games and I’ve been using a cheap Logitech keyboard for a while. But I wanted to upgrade and my goodness what an upgrade! The haptic feedback from the keys being pressed is great to know exactly when the input is being sent to the computer. It looks fantastic with high quality design. I got the NES style keyboard and it looks just fantastic. The mappable big buttons are a great feature too! With even silly stickers for them was a nice inclusion. I also love that the dongle for 2.4 mode is able to be stored within the keyboards back for transportation or for Bluetooth connection. My favorite part is that it has a volume knob. Didn’t even notice it when I purchased but to be able to just turn a dial for volume is so much better than the alternatives. I would give this thing more than 5 stars if I could. Can’t recommend enough. It’s pricey but absolutely worth the cost. Huge upgrade
