When someone makes a retro themed product and some rando looks at it and says "How old is this crap anyway?" then you know they nailed it.

The designers would be high-fiving themselves if they could see this comment. 😆

No number pad makes it totally useless. How old is this crap anyway? Features a CRT screen in the photos.
The kind of people who buy these are definitely not the type to do heavy data entry on the regular, and you know damn well the CRT is for show lol

I think the CRT is for the retro vibes to go along with the NES color scheme.

I have seen better priced mechanical keyboards with similar form factor; under $45.
Not all mechanical keyboards are created equally. Many of the cheap ones are cheap for a reason.

This is like getting an Atari instead of an NES to save a few dollars.

Also, note this is wireless with built in rechargeable batteries, do the "cheap ones" have the same features?

I suspect it's the exact same keyboard as the one I have, I have the clear green Xbox version made by the same company, and it's really clicky and has backlit LEDs. I just have them turn on with keypress rather than always being illuminated. Any how, works great wirelessly, works great when plugged in, it feels premium and has a good weight to it. I often game with it in my lap paired with the same branded wireless mouse. For $51, it's a great deal. This is coming from someone that's been using keyboards since the 80s, believe me when I say, it gives that old school mechanical feeling.

I have been using this keyboard for working and gaming for over a year. This is an excellent keyboard at a great price. The 2.4Ghz included dongle is a great addition to connection options.

I have had this keyboard for a couple of years and am very happy with it. The only thing missing is the numpad. While 8BitDo does make a matching numpad, they unfortunately missed the mark on that accessory. For some reason, they added a built in calculator function to the numpad, and moved the standard buttons around to make room for a Clear and Backspace key. Now every time I try to type a dash I get backspace instead.
So:
Keyboard = Great as is but would be better with a numpad.
Numpad Accessory (Not part of this deal) = Avoid unless you happen to need a very bulky pocket calculator that happens to double as a numpad.

What a poor analogy.This is a poor mechanical keyboard. The reason to buy it is the novelty alone.

Would you like me to search for "wireless mechanical keyboard" here on slickdeals or can you handle that?
