These are surprisingly good keyboards. I have the C64 one and it's one of my favourites in the collection. Really considering this one at this price as well, but recent other purchases have blown the nerd budget for a while. Really good deal.
The 8BitDo Retro 87 key mechanical keyboard stands out as a well built, satisfying typing board with Bluetooth, 2.4 gigahertz, and USB C connectivity. The box white switches feel great for typing, the switches are easy to swap, and battery life is strong on the 2.4 gigahertz dongle. The current price is described as the best seen in years, especially compared with a roughly 90 dollar Cyber Monday purchase. The main drawbacks are the loud clicky sound, the lack of a number pad, and no backlighting, so it fits home use or a desk setup where noise is not a concern.
Mechanical keyboard fans who like box white switches, because the typing feel is satisfying and the switches are easy to swap.
Yes. It uses box white switches and is described as too loud for an office or for someone sitting nearby, though it is satisfying to type on at home. It is better suited to a private desk unless you plan to swap in silent switches.
Yes. It is described as the best price seen in years, and one buyer paid about $90 on Amazon last Cyber Monday, making the current $50.99 price a notable drop.
Was going to instabuy but showing 2 week delivery estimate wtf... its Sold & shipped by Amz, thats odd. Usually this wouldnt be an issue for me but Im travelling for 3 months next week, this wouldve been so clutch as I just sold my wired corsair keyb too

The deal will likely be back. It was this same price in late August when I grabbed one.
This is my work keyboard (I work at Nintendo), and I loved it so much I bought the full version to use at home. Best keyboard I've ever used. At this price I kind of want to buy another one for a backup
Its sold out, a fun keyboard.
4 key puller https://www.amazon.com/Keycap-Pul...ref=sr_1_4 (cheaper on aliexpress) not included but good getting out anything that falls in, and the key switches are removed with a 2 prong type remover or tweezer, the 4 prong doesn't work. the clips are on the bottom and top.
