Rare deals have 8Bitdo’s epic NES/Famicom-style mechanical keyboards starting at $80

Update: Woot is now offering one of the best prices ever on the Famicom-edition 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard with the included Super Buttons at $79.99 Prime shipped. More details below. 

Amazon is offering some rare price drops on the popular 8Bitdo Retro Mechanical Keyboard with Super Buttons today. 8Bitdo unveiled its new NES and Famicom-inspired mechanical keyboard for the first time back in July, and today we are tracking one of only a few notable price drops since. You can now score one directly from Amazon starting from $85.49 shipped. Regularly $100, this is up to 15% off the going rate and the lowest price we have tracked coming directly from Amazon. There was a third-party offer for a touch less previously, but deals have been hard to come by on this retro-style keyboard setup with Prime shipping. Head below for more details. 

As detailed in our launch coverage, this is 8Bitdo’s latest keyboard offering with a design heavily-inspired by Nintendo’s retro consoles. Available in two flavors, the NES or Famicom color schemes, they feature an 87-key layout with dye-sub PBT keycaps and Kailh Box V2 White switches alongside the programmable oversized Super Buttons seen above. As far as connectivity goes, users have the choice between Bluetooth, wired, or one of those wireless 2.4G dongles with compatibility on Windows 10 or above and Android 9.0 or newer, as well as macOS. The onboard 2,000mAh for up to 200 hours of gameplay rounds out the feature set here. Take a deeper dive in feature piece.
