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 price on a bumper pack of nostalgic goodness. This is a rare offer, not just because of the additional joystick included, 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$69.99 sales pricein 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 for a retro gift this holiday season, it’s time to take the plunge on this rare discount.
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. Thebest gaming keyboardsusually cost three times this much. For reference, the only wireless deck I regularly see under three figures day to day is the olderSteelSeries Apex Pro MiniWireless - and that’s out of stock everywhere at the moment.

Should you buy the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard?
(Image credit: Future)
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 Ninty 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 of, 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 mostwireless gaming keyboardsI 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 part.
