In brief: Although most of 8BitDo’s products are designed to support PCs, the company’s main appeal is its affection for retro console gaming. Months after releasing a Nintendo-themed keyboard, 8BitDo has unveiled a new variant that marks its first attempt to evoke an old-school home computer.

Like the NES-themed keyboard the company released last year, the new model combines fairly standard 87-key mechanical keyboard functionality with a color scheme that recalls 80s hardware. It supports N-key rollover, features ABS double-shot keycaps, comes in a top-mounted orientation, and includes retro-style knobs for volume and wireless connectivity.
