+1 w/ @ogur1990... I definitely need to see this.

Definitely gonna get this board whenever I get a chance to. Box White V2 are damn good switches and the fact they threw those in there is awesome. Famicom colors too... I'm a sucker for that aesthetic. I hope the stabs have been tuned and don't rattle.

Just got mine today. It's solid and I'm really digging it so far.

THIS WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR ME! Im making an retro style looking setup and would really love this!

Looks good! Before this was available, it took me a while to find a fairly priced mechanical 87-key keyboard. Finally discovered the Redragon Kumara K552, quite satisfied.

Great video, as always!

Saw this. Fell in love with it. Went to Amazon UK and immediately pre-ordered it. I went for the Fami edition, purely as it has Japanese lettering on the keys. In the UK, we don't get it until November 1st, but that's cool. Really looking forward to it. Thanks for the video on this product.

I received my keyboard yesterday and it's so nice. The switches are the first of its kid that I've used and I'm really impressed. This whole keyboard is just awesome.

i dont need this, but i want it sooo badly, really cool, thx for your thoughtful reviews

it just looks so cool

I'd be really interested on of it works with Mac. Those big buttons would be awesome for hotkeys in fcpx of logic. Having four buttons (two per big toe, lol) under my desk on the floor for undo/redo, and maybe play/stop or record/stop would be cool.

I would definitely pick this up if I didn't have my Keychron Q6 or I had another PC... Build quality is good enough and in terms of the design and unique addition of the A/B buttons, it seems like a really good deal.

Recently bought it online for the equivalent of $50 in my country. Absolute steal if you ask me.

Those buttons will be very much needed for Ghostbusters on the NES 😆

Can't wait for hipyo tech to do a teardown, full lube, and modding the stabilizers. i hope this product does insanely well, but right now i just want the keycaps for my keyboard.

The original Famicom had a keyboard as an accessory as well as the disk drive. Yeah who wouldn't want to make their Nintendo a Home Computer? In this regard Famicom keyboards go way back.

I love mine. Feels like a model m IBM keyboard from the 80's. The quality is that amazing! I had to get the mouse to go with it.

@@jessebarker9775 I have one. It's cumbersome compared to an integrated tenkey. Takes up more space as a separate device than if it were part of the board, uses an additional USB port, and adds another cable to the mess. Also it aint look like an NES. Surely you thought about all of this before you replied?

@jessebarker9775

9 ай бұрын

@jubsy For sure. My priority is gaming, so TKL or less is optimal for me. I don't use a numpad all that often, so mine sits off to the side. A USB hub would be a decent solution for freeing up ports.

The NES version was completely sold out so I ended up getting the Famicon version and it's great.

I so need one for my Amiga mini !

If they release this with a UK layout I'll be so tempted to buy one

I can already see Hipyo Tech rolling his eyes and sneering at this.

Love your animated intro to your youtube channel, who made it?

I'm gonna get one and use those big buttons as a foot pedal for light gun games, being very careful of course.

I bought the Famicom version of this keyboard. I grew up with the NES, but I just thought the Famicom version looked a lot nicer. It feels amazing to type on. Coming off a keyboard with the excellent Cherry MX Red switches, I find that I significantly prefer the Kailh switches in this 8BitDo keyboard. They're clicky but not obnoxiously so, and typing is smooth while still providing satisfying feedback. It all makes for a very balanced typing experience.

Interesting enough the original Famicom had a keyboard as an accessory for basic as well as the disk drive. Home Computers were still being used by a lot of people in the early 80's myself included. This just makes the Famicom version that much cooler.

I'm really happy to see this. Do you think it would work for a retro pie? I can't imagine why it wouldn't my self. I really wanted to buy the mouse for use with my retro pi but wanted a keyboard that would match. For stuff like dos and old pc games. I also have the n30 pro controllers in the NES style. I want a whole theme. I have been looking at cases that look like an NES too, but haven't gotten one yet? Can't imagine i would have much use for the two button thing, but it's cool too I guess.

this looks so 80's I love it

Wish I had a matching computer case 😊

Same here. Got pushed to Oct 3rd.

Make a Master System version and they can take my money now :) Also! Random thought on this. I could see those programable buttons being used for toe taps haha. I can already think of 2 games I play that having those programed to enter/exit mech or reload etc. would be awesome. Toe tap to shoot web? Possiblities are endless.

Whats the most powerful SBC we can stuff into that case? I'm thinking the Raspberry Pi CM4 is a no brainer but how high can we push the retro emulation capabilities in there?

I hope they make a version with a numpad in the future

Really wish they didn't write "RETRO KEYBOARD" on it...

If they make a super Famicom version I'll be excited

Yes! A an SNES/Super Famicon would be awesome! The NES/Famicom version look awesome, but the SNES is what I grew up with.

Would probably buy the buttons for Pinball 😁

Man, i cant believe, after all those mx mechanical and expensive stuff, i just want thia one so badly, i dont need it! But this is so cool! Holy crap!

I already liked what I saw from this after seeing Lon Seidman's review previously. That sure looks tempting. I like both the NES and Famicom designs, though I prefer the look of the Famicom design a bit more. My first 8bitdo controller was their Famicom-style FC30 from 2015(how time flies). I also love some of the quirky touches they did here. I'm not sure what I'd do with those big buttons, maybe just program them as A & B for comedic value until I'd come up with something better, but the idea of having four sets of them with no real purpose amuses me. But it looks like another good effort from 8bitdo. Incidentally, I recently picked up two of 8bitdo's Ultimate C wired pads and two of their Neo Geo CD pads, and they've all been excellent so far.

Very cool, whats programm is that, i mean the wallapapers in windows ?

I would love it, if this was full size. I still use the num pad for data entry.

I just got mine....however I dont like that the big buttons are not usb i would use those alone just for fun the giant buttons. They are so much fun to hit and being able to use them with anything would be really cool..

Damnit! I just bought a little keyboard.

Hi ETA! Have you tried hooking it up to an xbox or switch? I'm not sure if there is any extra fun to be had there 🤔

"super smooth"... Those things are sounding super scratchy. They definitely need to be lubed or just flat out replaced with some nice lubed switches. Love the overall looks, might just pick one up.

keyboard is amazing, mega buttons are more then awesome, using them all the time

Uh oh. I’m both a fan of 8bitdo and mech keyboards. But I’m a fan of silent switches. Yeah it is swapable but that adds more to the cost

Hope they make a uk one

This looks great, and for the price, I dig it, but I HAVE to have numpad or it's a no go for me.

Hey ETA, would you mind testing the modular framework gaming handheld

Gateron greens for the big buttons, maybe?

If only it had some back lighting for the keys, I would have definitely ordered one, but I already have enough keyboards 😂

This keyboard would look so good with my Nintendo themed PCs.

I want those big buttons for track and field game

I was wondering if you were going to do this keyboard!!! Looks like you stepped away from 8Bitdo for a while.

i understand it has an aesthetic bu tim not a fan of those big buttons, it would have been better if they had a 2nd usbc so it can connect to a streamdeck like device which can be configured in 8bitdo software

Does it have multimedia functions? Fn button maybe? Like play /pause, skip forward, etc?

I'd love to try this, but I preordered it from amazon 2 months ago, and even though it released 3 days ago it still says it'll ship next week.

I just want the 2 buttons to play Divekick!

It definitely works with iOS! It's my favorite keyboard and the scroll functions on the mouse works flawlessly IMO.

Those large buttons are actually for you to play with your feet. Like for jumping in Fortnite, or accelerating and breaking in racing games.

Been on the fence with getting one. They made it seem like the switches were not hot swappable, so that reduced its appeal. Seeing you take the switch out, I know that information is now incorrect.

This will be my eject button in titanfall

Maybe the big buttons could be used as foot pedals in games that require a lot of keybinds lol

doesn't look like it from the video. Missed opportunity for sure, that was my instant reaction as well. If the buttons use a 3.5mm jack connection maybe an extension cable would work.

Does it work with the Steam Deck? I was looking for a less than full size keyboard to travel with my Deck (when I didn't want to use a fold up mini keyboard). I assume it would since it's a keyboard but they only mention compatibility with Windows and Android...

It's a shame that this doesn't have backlit.
