As a part of its 25 Days of Deals event, Best Buy is offering 8BitDo’s Retro Mechanical Keyboard with Super Buttons and Joystick down at $69.99 shipped. This $100 keyboard has mostly been fetching $90 at Amazon over the last couple of months. Today’s deal at Best Buy delivers a solid 30% discount on its listed price, dropping it $20 below its usual going rate. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this particular model outside of a limited offer at Woot that briefly had it for $60. Also, the model available at Best Buy right now comes with a Joystick, which is typically not bundled with this version of the board at Amazon or Woot. Head below for more details.
This retro-inspired keyboard comes with two oversized, customizable buttons that you can use to play games or program them to function as macros. This particular unit discounted at Best Buy today also comes with a Joystick that you can use with the Super Buttons for a complete experience. As for the keyboard itself, you are looking at a Tenkeyless (TKL) layout, and it comes pre-built with Kailh Box V2 White switches. They are topped with PBT keycaps that nicely complement the NES theme. This model supports tri-mode connectivity, meaning you can connect it to your devices using Bluetooth, a 2.4GHz dongle, or a USB-C cable, and it’s compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android.
8BitDo also has a full-sized version of this keyboard that you can pre-order now in either the same NES or Fami styles. The full-sized Retro 108 available at Amazon also ships with the customizable Super Buttons, delivering the same overall experience.
