8BitDo Unveils Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard and R8 Mouse – Xbox Edition for Nostalgic Gamers
8BitDo has launched preorders for its new Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard—Xbox Edition, a stylish tribute to the original Xbox console's iconic transparent green design. Created in collaboration with Xbox, the keyboard features modern gaming features while evoking nostalgia with its vintage aesthetic. Available for preorder on Amazon, it’s expected to ship on January 16, 2025. The Xbox Edition keyboard pairs perfectly with the matching Retro R8 Mouse, completing a nostalgic retro setup.
The Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard—Xbox Edition, while essentially a re-skin of the original, stands out with its Xbox-inspired design. The jadeite, transparent green shell and keycaps, along with the red, blue, yellow, and green arrow keys, are all reminiscent of the original Xbox controller's face buttons. Additionally, a special Xbox button allows quick access to the Game Bar in Windows. It also features a hot-swappable PCB with Kailh Jellyfish X switches, RGB backlighting, and multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, and wired modes. Despite its impressive design and functionality, it’s worth noting that, despite its Xbox branding, the keyboard is compatible only with Windows and Android, not Xbox consoles.
Alongside the keyboard, the Retro R8 Mouse—Xbox Edition is also available for preorder. Sporting the same transparent green design as the keyboard, the R8 Mouse is designed for precision with an adjustable DPI of up to 26,000 and an 8,000 MHz polling rate. It’s perfect for FPS gamers and also offers both wired and wireless connectivity, along with a charging dock.
Priced at $120, the 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard—Xbox Edition features a TKL 87-key layout, while the matching Retro R8 Mouse is available for $60. Both items are up for preorder on Amazon. For those who prefer a more Nintendo-inspired setup, the NES and Famicom editions of the Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard are also worth considering.
