When you test multiple keyboards a week like I do, you start looking forward to an extraordinary one landing on your table, and the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard is just that. This is the most excited I’ve been for a keyboard in a while. Sporting a retro look inspired by the likes of Nintendo, the keyboard is designed and built really well — and is sure to draw eyeballs to your desk.
The typing experience offered by the 8BitDo Retro is phenomenal, thanks to the smooth Kailh switches and dye-sublimated PBT keycaps. If you’re looking for a retro keyboard that looks and sounds like an IBM keyboard of ye olde, you won’t go wrong with this one. All of this for just $99? Sign me up.
