    Great keyboard. Battery management works well. I use it for work, not sure how the responsiveness would be for gaming but I can't complain. The buttons are great for quickly mute/unmute zoom calls. Marco buttons are easy to set. I like the keyboard so much, I own two.

    Purchased as a gift for a family member, but I got to play around with it a little bit. More fun than most of the "gamer" cruft on the market today, though I am not a fan of clicky switches.

    Solid ten-keyless keyboard with old school video game style. If you like clicky switches, this is a good choice, especially if you get it on sale (can frequently be found for $10-$20 less than retail).

    Keyboard is everything I wanted it to be. Functions exactly like advertised (even sounds exactly like the youtube video they posted). The issue I have with my purchase is the magnets in my super buttons and joy stick were installed backwards. My super buttons REPEL my joystick rather than binding to it. Pretty annoying to say the least and now I am out of best buys return window. Will sadly have to deal with this issue for many years to come. 8bitdo, please tell Shenzhen Onebitdo Tech Co to yell at whoever is on the assembly line putting the magnets in backwards.

    Bought as a Christmas present for my husband. He couldn’t wait so he opened it early. He absolutely loves it. He can never have too many keyboards but this was definitely nostalgic for him.

    Good for gaming, especially for some action games as having a joystick to control the moving and mouse for aiming is much more easier than a controller.

    Buy only to collect and show off, not very practical. Buttons are very loud and clicky. Connections works very well. Will need extra room to use the oversized buttons. Wished it had some sort of lighting. Makes it hard to use in the dark.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
