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

Super fun keyboard
Can't beat this for the price. The only thing that I would change is add a little bit more weight to the joystick because as you tug on it it tends to lift up. However, one of the most awesome things I didn't know is that the joystick and buttons are magnetized on certain sides. So when you put them next to each other, they kind of at least maintain the shape of how you arrange them. I may get some rubber weighted feet for the joystick. As far as the key quality goes, it has a nice feel and sound that's somewhere in between thaocy and clicky. All in all, it's probably my favorite keyboard I've ever owned and I'm really enjoying the way it feels to keep spacing and the overall quality of the product. That's aside from the fun and novelty super buttons and joystick, which I've already used to play some arcade emulation just for the heck of it and it was a pretty good time.

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.
