Its other keyboards resemble Nintendo&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/electronics.woot.com\/offers\/8BitDo-retro-mechanical-keyboard\">Japanese Famicom system<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8BitDo.com\/retro-mechanical-keyboard-c64\/\">Commodore 64<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8BitDo.com\/retro-mechanical-keyboard-m\/\">IBM Model M<\/a>. They&#8217;re all reasonably priced at $100, but recent sale pricing on the Nintendo-themed models\u2014just $70 on Woot\u2014 are what finally got this retro gaming nerd to cave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoretrokeyboard.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But while the aesthetics drew me in, the keyboard&#8217;s actual features have me hooked, This is the main keyboard I&#8217;ll be using at my desk for the foreseeable feature, even if my <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bsky.app\/img\/feed_thumbnail\/plain\/did:plc:g34dxjxf3ikahcyibz3beul6\/bafkreieifjfoxezxneassubs56hg3wfcnn3pm7m4i5gwuxn3cebm46akem@jpeg\">Roland TR-808-themed Code keyboard<\/a> looks a little cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What 8BitDo&#8217;s keyboards get right<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard range has a few bells and whistles that I didn&#8217;t fully appreciate until I started using them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volume knob:<\/strong> I previously relied on keyboard shortcuts to control system volume, but the 8BitDo keyboard has a dedicated control knob that&#8217;s more convenient, especially while gaming. Volume knobs have become more commonplace on mechanical keyboards in recent years, and I can no longer fathom buying a keyboard without one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shortcut keys:<\/strong> 8BitDo&#8217;s keyboards have a pair of programmable keys to the right of the space bar, plus a separate pair of oversized buttons that connect to the keyboard via an auxiliary cable. I&#8217;m using the keyboard&#8217;s &#8220;A&#8221; and &#8220;B&#8221; keys to quickly launch the Windows snip tool (normally Win+Shift+S) and the text extractor in <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/powertoys\/text-extractor\">Microsoft&#8217;s PowerToys app<\/a> (normally Win+Shift+T), both of which are clumsy to invoke otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdoshortcutkeys.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mapping the shortcuts is easy: Press the star key in the top row, hold the desired shortcut keys, then press the button you want to program. (8BitDo&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/app.8BitDo.com\/Ultimate-Software-V2\/\">companion software<\/a> offers more control\u2014including support for multi-step keyboard macros\u2014but it&#8217;s a hassle to use and only works with Windows.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connectivity options:<\/strong> 8BitDo&#8217;s keyboard is rare in supporting the full trifecta of wired USB-C, wireless USB, and Bluetooth. I prefer USB over Bluetooth because it&#8217;s more responsive and reliable, but Bluetooth pairing is more convenient for phones, tablets, and streaming devices. The keyboard has a slot in back for stowing the wireless USB dongle, and a knob lets you switch between the three connection modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of all that, the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard is just enjoyable to type on, with a sturdy frame and Kailh Box V2 White key switches that give off a deep, satisfying click when you press and release them. I felt comfortable using it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-1536x921.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-100x60.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-200x120.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-450x270.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-600x360.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1-900x540.jpg 900w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8bitdodongle-1.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some things you might not like:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s loud.<\/strong> 8BitDo doesn&#8217;t offer any other key switch options besides those extra-clicky Kailh Box V2 Whites. If you want quieter typing on this particular keyboard, you&#8217;ll have to buy an entire set of alternative switches and hot-swap them yourself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s bulky:<\/strong> There&#8217;s no way around the thickness of mechanical keys, but 8BitDo&#8217;s keyboard is also on the tall side with its full function row and upper control bar. It won&#8217;t be my first choice for travel, but I already have a <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2023\/11\/07\/11-7-2023-foldable-keyboards-rule\/\">foldable keyboard<\/a> for that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s Windows-first:<\/strong> You can use this keyboard with a Mac, but with Win and Alt keys that map to Cmd and Option, respectively. You&#8217;ll probably want to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/mac-help\/change-the-behavior-of-the-modifier-keys-mchlp1011\/mac\">remap all the modifier keys<\/a> in the Mac&#8217;s System Settings menu for a more familiar layout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>There&#8217;s no number pad,<\/strong> though a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8BitDo.com\/retro-18-mechanical-numpad\/\">separate number pad module<\/a> is coming soon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of these attributes are positives for me, as I&#8217;m into hefty keyboards with obnoxiously clackety keys, and my desk tray has no room for a full-sized keyboard anyway. Mechanical keyboards come in a wide range of sizes precisely because everyone&#8217;s preferences are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of now, though, there&#8217;s only one keyboard that looks like an NES out of the box, and I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s more than just a visual gimmick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous keyboard coverage on Advisorator:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2023\/11\/07\/11-7-2023-foldable-keyboards-rule\/\">The case for foldable keyboards<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2020\/11\/02\/9-3-2019-the-joy-of-mechanical-keyboards\/\">A quick mechanical keyboard primer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2020\/11\/02\/10-14-2019-surprisingly-great-keyboard-shortcuts\/\">Surprisingly useful keyboard shortcuts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">News, tips, and deals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/subscribe-to-advisorator\/\">Advisorator&#8217;s paid subscribers<\/a> get bonus tips, app recommendations, news roundups, and deals in each newsletter. <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/subscribe-to-advisorator\/\">Sign up<\/a> to get the full newsletter every Tuesday, plus <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/advisorator-guides\/\">helpful online guides<\/a> and access to the <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/join-the-advisorator-slack-crew\/\">Advisorator Slack<\/a>.
