Pros & Cons
Pros
Keys are huge and as responsive and clicky as they come. Gorgeous sounding keys, great feel and is visually appealing. One note is that the f and j keys don't have that little bump on them.
The switches themselves are kailh box white v2's. 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) the pcb itself is hot-swappable.
The 8bitdo keyboard is an absolute must-have. It's colorways just nail it, and bring back that old nintendo nostalgia. Now i want a keyboard themed after the snes and gamecube. I love the retro nintendo styling and it brings me back to my childhood.
It has a nice clicky sound and a nice feel when typing. I hope it isn't too loud on zoom calls, but nobody has complained.
It doesn't creak or feel like it's gonna break from lifting it.

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$.
The amount of effort put into this keyboard is shocking considering it's price range at $100.
Packaging/appearance
- great packaging & unboxing- overall excellent product quality and attention to detailscons:- would've liked to see a multimedia button.
I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this product and the quality of the packaging.
The joystick that comes in the package is actually better than i thought.
Competitiveness
I have bought a lot of 8bitdo products over the years, they are always priced competitively and of the highest quality when com... Read More
That said the kaihls actually feel really good (i have just had failures in that brand of switches in the past).
For the price, you're getting a great entry-level offering into the high-end mechanical keyboard market, and in comparison to t... Read More
But this has swappable switches, so you can change them out with your favorite brand to make them the perfect feel and sound for you.
