    Almost perfect for me would be perfect for others

    Great product, the clicky is just right for me ; like an old ibm keyboard . but even if you don't like clicky the switches are changeable to put on your own. The extra joy stick and buttons are a cool gimmick for example I use the stick to control my music and I use the a and b buttons for different commands on games like launching my ultimate in marvel rivals. It's so fun to just slam a button and ult but otherwise it's kinda gimmicky and the cables get in the way since the accessories require plug ins. The only negatives is the lack of backlight but apparently their new Xbox version has em so if that's got the same quality and backlights are a requirement I recommend that one more but this ones great and cheaper if you don't need backlight. Also the 8bitdo software was a little buggy on my PC . It didn't like my dual monitors with different resolutions the work around was just disabling the second monitor temporarily while I used the app

    WORTH EVERY PENNY

    Managed to score this open box and returned the keyboard that comes without the joystick to get this product. Overall best keyboard I’ve ever owned! Just the right amount of clickiness with the keyboard, feels super sturdy and the HUGE buttons are very easy to program. On a regular basis I leave it as copy paste shortcut keys but gaming the options are limitless. Paired with the joystick this product comes with a chefs kiss!

    Clicky 1990s BLISS

    I definitely love everything about this keyboard. I'm modify and collect mechanical keyboards as a hobby and held off on trying this one for a while due to skepticism of it. I finally bought it to try when I saw it available in the actual store since it was there, and I was very surprised with how much I like it. The clicky switches and hollow case give it a very old mechanical feel to match the theme. It's so satisfying to type on, and the accessories are pretty fun too. I used the big A/B buttons to do a copy and paste macro and I use them all the time. my one criticism... 8-Bit... It's almost 2025. Where is the RGB backlighting??? Otherwise, I love this thing.

    Perfect keyboard for 80’s gamers

    Other than missing a dedicated numberpad, the feel of the keys plus the look of the original NES pallet is excellent along with the mappable shortcut binds with the B and A Keys (joystick is also pretty cool just a tad impractical for my liking)

    A charming blend of retro aesthetics and modern

    The 8BitDo N Edition keyboard is a nostalgic nod to the classic NES, combining retro aesthetics with modern mechanical performance. Featuring Kailh Box White V2 switches, it offers a clicky, tactile typing feel, and includes unique programmable "A" and "B" buttons plus a joystick for extra functionality.
