8BitDo's Xbox-inspired mechanical gaming keyboard drops to its lowest-ever price — Halo can it go

Masters of retro keyboard designs, 8BitDo has done an amazing job creating mechanical keyboards influenced by iconic moments in computer gaming history. With a variety of color schemes and accents that have been drawn from computer legends such as the NES/Famicom consoles from Nintendo, to the Commodore 64, the keyboards have captured the essence of those early icons.

Now it's the turn of Microsoft's Xbox, with the 8BitDo retro keyboard mimicking that of the early translucent Xbox gaming consoles. Combining the see-through chassis with RGB lighting makes quite a striking statement on your desk. A splash of color and vibrancy, plus that nostalgia hit, can propel your setup to new comfort levels.

The 8Bitdo Xbox Retro Mechanical Keyboard is available at Woot for just $64.99, the lowest price seen for this variant of the keyboard. The usual list price for this keeb is $119.99, so you're saving a cool 46% off that price.
