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.

The style of this keyboard is very stylish, with a combination of Chinese mahjong and game consoles

I too have the NES keyboard and use it for work in my home office. I am not sure I'd swap out my at work office keyboard though which is silent, this thing is a bit clicky. It's VERY nice though. If I wasn't such a fan of the Logitech G915/815 low profile design this would be the top keyboard I owned.

The good thing about this too is that the switches can be replaced to something more silent

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

The giant buttons are not Bluetooth, the connection is via cable. Do you homework.

I picked this up last time Woot was selling it. Over all it is a solid keyboard, the switches are decent and I am not a huge fan of browns. The build quality is good, it if hefty and sounds good. Also a note that this keeb is big for a TKL so if desk space is important that could be an issue. No RGB/backlight which was fine for me, but for a spendy board that might raise some eyebrows. The big buttons are amusing but I have not had any need for them. Lastly it looks cool, keycaps are well made.

In case you aren't aware, the styling of this keyboard is an homage to the Famicom (NES as it was sold in Japan) and also how keyboards have the hiragana letter set printed on the keys over in Japan. Really not much to do with mahjong.

Edit: More specifically, it seems to be an homage to the Family Basic, which was a sort of "beginner's programming tool" for making games on the Famicom! Cool stuff.

I have the NES version and I love it. I have to convince myself I don't need both versions. I don't use the big accessory buttons, but they're neat. I wouldn't consider them as a major aspect of this keyboard. It's heavy, which was unexpected, but I like it. It feels sturdy and well built, not at all cheap. I use mine with my HTPC, and so it's in my living room looking cool. I recommend this for anyone who likes how it looks. You'll like it more when you see it in person.

The lack of media keys is tough, but the buttons make up for it a little, especially since they can be programmed separately from the keys. I have the B and A keys set to prev/next track, and the B and A buttons set to play/pause and mute. It's fun smacking them to start/stop things.

Pro tip: The software only works on Windows, but after setting bindings in Windows, they'll be retained for other operating systems / other computers.

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?).

Also, they're coming out with a C64 version that includes a very old-fashioned joystick, which presumably you'll also be able to pick up separately at some point.
