I'm a fan of what 8BitDo does. They do make some really good products. I've seen this a little ago and I do kinda want it. Although I use a Mac and not a PC. Might have to look up if they offer a Mac version of this. I would definitely be tempted to switch out my current Logitech MX keys for this just cause it is way cooler! Also thanks for not going ham with the keys test. I honestly hate keyboard reviews that have like a minute straight of them hammering on the keyboard lol.

Thanks so much for your support and great feedback. This one does work with Mac but the software to customize macros is not compatible. Overall I really love the typing experience with this keyboard.

Finally i come across a review video where they didnt over do the clicky sound. And just kept it briefly...all other review videos over did it and got a little irritating lol 😂

Nice but i like a standard, large return key.

I thought this was going to be really expensive but only €90

[@asiandude918]

Kinda surprised theres no keycap puller

[@deuswulf6193]

While this is not as premium feeling as the Hexgears keyboard, which is often found cheaper, it has such a nostalgic look and feel that it is hard to pass up.

I preordered on Amazon… thing hasn’t shipped yet. 😢

[@iReviewThis]

That’s absurd, sounds like they oversold on the pre-order. Sorry to hear that, hopefully you get it soon!

Do you think it's ok to buy this keyboard to work (programming)?

[@iReviewThis]

The mechanical keys are pretty loud, it may annoy your coworkers if you’re in an office setting. But, if it’s just you, then I would recommend it. Also keep in mind that this is my first mechanical keyboard; there may be better options out there suited for your needs.

I have been using the keyboard for 2 weeks or so and my feelings are mixed. The 2 big buttons are nothing more than a gimmic, I`ve not found a use for them. If they would have made a long cable to use the buttons with my legs, that would have been a real win. The box does not even include a keypuller which is dissapointing. The configuration SW feel cheap and counter-intuitive in my opinion. The most dissapointing thing for me is the fact that it does not have lighting - don`t care if it`s not RGB but some lighting would have been appreciated. The sound of the keyboard is average, sounds okish but that`s it. Overall I would not buy it again, not because it`s bad in any way but because it`s average all across.

does it work on mac?

[@iReviewThis]

Yes, in my testing, it does work with Mac in all 3 modes (wired, 2.4ghz & bluetooth); however, I am unable to get it to work on Mac with the software to utilize the programmable macros. I am in contact with 8bitdo to see if there will be a Mac OS version of the software released. More to come.
