I look for this NES version of 8BitDo's retro mechanical gaming keyboard every time the brand is on sale, and this time Best Buy has a record-low 𓆉price on a bumper pack of nostalgic goodness. This is a rare offer, not just because of the additional joystick includ𒐪ed, but because it's usually the less popular Fami Edition that sees the majority of price cuts. The NES-styled deck is often stuck at $89.99 but has only ever reached $79.99 in the past.

Best Buy's $30 discount leaves us with a fantastic in the retailer's holiday sales this week - but this rate won't last long. There's a countdown timer on the page, and this discount will only last through today. If you're on the hunt foꦚr a retro gift this holiday season, it's time to take the plunge on this rare disc𒊎ount.

The 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard isn't just excellent value for money with this deal - it's actually already incredibly well-priced. You won't find a wireless hot-swappable TKL gaming keyboard for under $100 too often, especially not with dedicated (and retro-themed) macro buttons. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming keyboards usually cost three times this much. For reference, the only wireless deck I regularly see under three figures day to day is the older 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless - and that'🐷s out of stock everywhere at the moment.

Save $30 - I rarely s🎃ee the NES-styled 8BitDo retro keyboard dropping to this $69.99 position, let alone with the joysticks included. Best Buy has taken us down to a record-low price on the full set this week, though, where previous sales only ever dipped to $79.99.

✅ You're gifting to a retro fan
✅ You want a budget wireless keyboard
✅ You'll use the extra add-ons

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need a compact deck

Should you buy the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard?

I've had a lot of fun with the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical keyboard since it launched over the summer last year. Aside from its gorgeous NES-themed styling, there's a whole host of N♐inty magic packed inside, from the nostalgic control dials to those massive super buttons. Everything is fully remappable, which means the super slappable A / B clickers can be assigned to pretty much any function you can think ಞof, while the entire deck also remains hot-swappable so you can change the feel of each keypress as you please.

It's a chunky deck, taller and blockier than most 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:wireless gaming keyboards I test. But that light plastic feel is all part of the original NES charm - it's🍷 not one for smaller setups but it certainly looks the par⛦t.

If you're buying the NES keyboard as a gift, it's worth noting that the 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connection options mean it's compatible with both PC and Android mobile devices. While 8Bi💝tDo's own software for programming isn't available on Mac, my deck runs by itself just fine when connected to a Macbook as well.
