8BitDo's Famicom-inspired retro keyboard drops to an all-time low of $59
80s retro chic with all the modern features
The older you get the more nostalgic you can be towards the "good old days" or even your childhood memories - especially when it comes to your first experiences with gaming, whether it's a handheld Nintendo Donkey Kong Game And Watch, Gameboy, Commodore 64, Famicom/NES, or PlayStation. Well, today's deal features a retro mechanical keyboard from 8BitDo that looks like a time traveler has brought it back from the 80s, with a color scheme that replicates the famous colors of the Nintendo Famicom entertainment system.
You can find today's awesome deal on the 8Bitdo retro mechanical keyboard at Woot for $59, which is the all-time lowest price that it's been available for sale. The board is a TKL layout with the number pad removed. There are 87 keys, with perfectly matched Nintendo Famicom colored dye-sub PBT keycaps giving that awesome retro aesthetic.
Included with this keyboard is a unique dual super-button peripheral addon that's also programmable and can be mapped to any key or shortcut you desire - maybe a push-to-talk button for example. The same goes for the keyboard, where you can use 8BitDo's Ultimate Software V2 for all your custom keyboard mapping and macros.
