The New 8bitdo Retro Keyboard shipped early. Small-ish Male Hand for scale. - eviltoast

I can try to answer any questions, but it doesn’t seem like the 8bitdo Ultimate software is availible for download yet. Im not big into mechanical keyboards, this is actually my first, so I don’t have much direct comparison experience to other keyboards.

but the buttons are big and f u n.

    Great comparison. Thats been my favorite part of the keyboard thus far. I can go HARD on it without feeling like its going to break.

      When does the red power LED light up? It doesn’t light up in 2.4 ghz or bluetooth mode. Does it light up in USB mode? Or is it just decorative?

          Oh that sucks, mine doesn’t. I have no interest in peeling off the feet to get at the screws to open this bad boy and see if the polarity of the LED is flipped or if there’s a bad solder joint. Usually I like to watch a tear down video first so I’m not trailblazing/making disassembly missteps.
