Review: Reject Silence, Embrace R E S O N A N C E - I have a good amount of keyboards I have in rotation for my computer, and this is one of my favorites whenever I bust it out. Nice clicky tactile feedback from the Kailh Box White V2 switches, ability to use 2.4ghz dongle or bluetooth for other devices that aren't wired, SPECTACULAR SOUND, lovely vintage appearance and feel, on-board macro keys, n-key rollover, doubleshot-ABS keys (I had it for around a year and see no signs of fading), desk space saving (while having all keys in familiar places) TKL layout... this one is a straight up winner. I have the impression that a lot of the custom keyboard market is dominated by linear 'thocky' smaller size keyboards, and any that aren't pre-built that way, users would go out of their way to spend money and time on making them that way. You probably could do that with 8bitdo keyboards, but that would be missing the point of how and why these are built the way they are. To paraphrase Chyrosan22 on YouTube, these 8bitdo keyboards with their roomy plastic housing, metal plate, and lack of dampening make this a VERY good resonance chamber for clicky switches, amplifying and enriching the sounds. This is the same reason why the IBM Model M is such a beloved keyboard. And then again, if I were to want an actually quiet keyboard, I would go get one of those $10 compact keyboards that Walmart or Target would have. Otherwise, 8bitdo keyboards are a very easy recommendation, assuming its resonant sounds don't bother you or any nearby people.
Review: A great nostalgic keyboard for the price. - I bought this keyboard because I was looking to build a nostalgic custom for several hundred dollar, then I found this beauty for only 99$. Out of the box, this thing is simply a treat. It's colorways just nail it, and bring back that old Nintendo nostalgia (I myself indulged in the Famicom variety). It has rubber-sleeved cables, which for a product like this is actually a boon, because the rubbers sleeves feel just like the controllers of old. Just as well there are the power buttons, which plug in via a 3.5mm jack at the back of the keyboard and really drive the message home. All around great presentation; it's thematically perfect. Then comes build quality. The board does feel a little hollow. It has a plastic shell, and no inner foam layer to fill things out (at least it doesn't sound or feel like it does, I don't really know for sure). However, it does have an aluminum plate which helps provide a good amount of thock, and the keycaps are dye-sub PBT which give them a nice noise that's on the lower side of the register. The switches themselves are Kailh Box White v2's. Now if Kailhs are a turn-off for you, I'll just say that I used to be the same way. However, Kailhs have come a long way through the years, and these are actually pretty good. Overall the switches feel quite consistent, they have good response, and they are nice and clicky (settling them in nicely with the keyboard's retro theme). Furthermore, the PCB itself is hot-swappable. So you can also change out the switches for whichever you like if you'd prefer something else (just make sure everything's compatible). What truly surprised me however were the stabilizers. I don't know exactly what they did to them, but they are silent; no rattle whatsoever, at least in my unit. Very nice play from a keyboard in this price range. Then there are the power buttons, which are much more useful then you might think. The buttons themselves have a nice texture that makes them feel great in the hand. They have a good weight to them, and they have a solid rubber bottom. So they'll stay put on any surface you place them. The switches within each button are the same as on the keyboard. So they feel nice and clicky with good response. At times, I have found myself just pushing the buttons over and over again only because it was so satisfying to do so. In addition to their nice build quality, they are programable using 8bitDo's companion software. I myself programed them to F5 and F8 so that I could use them as quick and easy quick-save and quick-load buttons when playing games on a controller. As I said before, there is companion software that allows you to reprogram the keyboard as you see fit. Just as well, there is an A and a B key on the keyboard itself which you can use as programmable hotkeys however you like. For connectivity, you have either wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4ghz. I never did try Bluetooth, but the wireless 2.4ghz is quite good. While I did have issues here and there with the 2.4ghz, causing it to randomly, and not that rarely, repeat the last input upon infinitum. Pressing any key would resolve the issue immediately. The battery life is very good as well. I've had the board since release, and have only charged it maybe twice. All and all, it's a great wireless board, and that's not including the nostalgia it perfectly recreates. For the price, you're getting a great entry-level offering into the high-end mechanical keyboard market, and in comparison to the likes of Corsair, Logitech, Razer, and the like, you're getting a heck of a lot more bang for your buck. Just and overall great product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After six months
*by K***R on January 12, 2026*

This review comes after six months of daily use for work, and play, using this keyboard. Appearance: I like it. it is reminiscent of the C64 keyboard but not exactly the same. It doesn't blind you with RGB lights either, which is great. Durability: I don't see any fading of the lettering on the keys. Everything is still working. Feel: I like the feel of the keys, but not everyone will. You have to push the keys down further than on some keyboards. I also like the sound they make over that of past keyboards; it's like a duller clicky sound. Connections: I have always used it with the USB cable. It offers the use of both Bluetooth or Wi-Fi if you want to use it wirelessly, but then you have to charge or power it in some way. Annoyance: There are "engraved" lines running around the keyboard and they can be hard to clean if something gets in there. Bonus feature! Since the keyboard uses a type C port for USB, it can be plugged directly into an IPad and it works instantly (I used the cable that came with the IPad). No need for an adapter like most keyboards would need. Of course, you have to think about power when doing this. Either it will use the IPad power or it uses an internal battery, I'm not sure which it uses in this case. I just remembered today that this came with two big buttons and a little joystick, so now I'm trying to think of something to use them for. I have not used any of the other features like the keyboard mapping software, the profiles, or the two programmable buttons between the alt and ctrl keys on the right side. Since everything else is so well made, I assume that those things would work well too. Summary: So far, I think it is my favorite keyboard, over the forty years that I've used keyboards.
