8BitDo has unveiled its first mechanical keyboard, a wireless device inspired by classic Nintendo Entertainment System and Famicom consoles. Like its controllers, the 8BitDo Retro mechanical keyboard will be highly customizable, and it even comes with a pair of oversized Super Buttons that can have custom functions mapped to them.
The keyboard has 87 keys, is compatible with both Windows and Android, has hot-swappable keycaps, and will be available in two editions. The N Edition has an almost all-white design with grey, red, and charcoal accents reminiscent of the classic NES console design, while the Fami Edition has maroon and black colors that make it look like a Famicom accessory.
For battery life, the keyboard has a 2,000mAh Li-on battery that can provide up to 200 hours of use from a four-hour charge. 8Bitdo has priced the keyboard at $100, and preorders will open up on July 31 ahead of an August 10 shipping date.
