Pros & Cons

Update Pros and 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 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.

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.
