There’s no shortage of great mechanical keyboards on the market, but few are as intriguing as the 8BitDo Retro Fami Edition. Along with the usual features you’d expect a mechanical keyboard to offer–such as responsive switches, multiple connectivity options, and customization software–it features a stylish, Famicom-inspired design. Typically sold for $100, it’s now available for its lowest-ever price of $80. Alternatively, you can grab the NES-inspired model for $90 directly from Amazon. And just like other 8BitDo products, you’re getting a whole lot of value for the price–it’s a fantastic keyboard.
8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard (Fami Edition)
$80 (was $100)
Sold by Woot–an Amazon-owned company–this is the best price we’ve ever seen for the unique keyboard. Featuring a hot-swappable PCB for easy customization without soldering, support for the 8BitDo Ultimate Software to remap keys, and both wireless and wired connection options, the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard is a well-rounded product.
Wireless support includes both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz via the included adapter that can conveniently be stored in a dedicated slot on the bottom of the keyboard (so you won’t lose it). You can swap between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless instantly, which is handy if you own multiple devices you’d like to use it on.
Prime members get free standard shipping on their orders from Woot.
A standout feature of the keyboard is its Dual Super Buttons. These are found on a separate gamepad and are essentially two additional programmable keys. Best of all, you can quickly map different functions to the buttons without the need for software.
Aside from the external Dual Super Buttons, the keyboard also uses A and B buttons near the spacebar, which can also be programmed for additional functionality. We’ve gone hands-on with the keyboard to test out all these features and found it to be a superb product. Not only is it responsive and durable, but it looks great in the home office. Even at the $100 price point, the keyboard is well-worth considering, so this $80 offer is a steal
