This title made me thought the keyboard was $17, anyone else?

I have the NES one and the buttons work perfectly. They aren't Bluetooth, though, they plug into the keyboard.

Reviews are good for the keyboard generally, but the two Bluetooth buttons, which are kind of the entire schtick for this thing, have problems.

I want the giant buttons by themselves. Any recommendations? I want to be able to hook them up to a macro so I can be dramatic when I do something on my computer, or via home automation

The only retro mechanical keyboard I am interested in is the original IBM PC keyboard style. Unless this has buckling spring keys it is not.

Ok. That's cool, Sam

I have this keyboard and it's very comfortable to use. If you're looking for tenkeyless and want something fun, the clear switches are also nice. The big buttons are definitely gimmicky, but hey!

The funny thing about this comment is that the Model M with its buckling spring design is not technically a mechanical keyboard.

I have the NES edition of this keyboard, and it's surprisingly good quality. I paid about $85 for mine and I don't regret it. The big buttons are a goofy gimmick, and the keyboard has 4 hookups for them, as if you'd buy another 3 sets. They don't sell them separately, though (yet?).
