I have long used an IBM Model M keyboard because I love the sound and feel of big ol' heavy clacketty keyboards. Forget all that squishy pad type key nonsense. Although not as heavy (or loud) as the Model M buckling spring keys, the action on this is very nice and very reminiscent of vintage keyboard actions and reminds me greatly of the C64. It is very pleasant to type on, even though my muscle memory is attuned to the Model M keys which are spaced slightly further apart. For anyone who had a C64 in the day, this will be a familiar experience, and a joy. Also includes multiple connection modes, wifi, Bluetooth and wired, all easily accessible via the dial at the top of the board which makes multitasking on and switching between multiple devices a breeze. I have mine set to wireless for my PC and with a simple flick of the switch to Bluetooth I can then type on my iPad or iPhone. The board has an onboard battery which is charged with the included USB cable. You can also set the mode switch to OFF, which acts as both an on/off switch in wireless mode and basically make the keyboard a wired device whilst it charges. Also integrated is a volume dial. Also included with the board are a pair of BIG MASSIVE mappable super buttons, and a simple -old-skool joystick. These connect through the keyboard rear panel. Up to four separate pairs of super buttons can be attached, which is great for gaming or to offer accessibility solutions. The buttons can be mapped to whatever function you wish, and are also mirrored to a pair of keys on the keyboard labelled A and B. You can purchase extra super buttons, and also available separately is a number pad unit to add a full number pad section to the keyboard that has its own battery, power cable and connection options (and a display to act as a calculator). The real bargain of this board is that it is priced very reasonably - it somehow manages to out-compete other similar quality boards price-wise even with the addition of super buttons and joystick. Even if you never use those extras, you have still snagged a VERY nice board at a steal of a price for its quality. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE: A minor niggle, but if you are in the UK or EU, you will have to simply get used to this being an ANSI keyboard with US key placements. It's not a major issue, and only affects a small number of symbol keys being switched around a bit. so I suggest switching your PC/Device keyboard mapping to ANSI or US in your OS settings so that what you type will match what is on the keycaps themselves. The only catch to that is that there is absolutely no UK Pound symbol, or Euro symbol, anywhere in US keyboard mapping, so get used to having a little notepad doc on your desktop so that you can quickly copy and paste those symbols when you need them! AFAIK 8BitDo have stated that they have no future plans to offer a non-ANSI keyboard. So, if you do lots of accounts, this may not be the board for you. But if that's not a dealbreaker then you will quickly adjust to the small number of keys in different places. Also note that there is no lighting in this keyboard - which is great because glowing keyboards are an abomination - and with the keys being dark they will be hard to see in poor lighting conditions. All in all, an awesome little keyboard no matter what you need it for, and a lovely retro-style option for those of us who are OLD and GRUMPY and look back with fondness on the days when everything was built like a battleship.

Feels satisfying to type on and definitely has the retro look! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Retro Product! *by M***N on 9 July 2025* This is a fantastic product which deserves all the praise it gets. With the dual connectivity of 2.4Ghz or Bluetooth, it is perfect to be used on a range of devices and very easy to setup. The buttons have a very clean click to them, and feel perfectly responsive. I use it both for competitive gaming with games like CS2 and for general use like producing documents or writing emails. Love the style, love the product, 5*! I am just waiting for 8BitDo to release a mouse and controller in the same theme! ## Frequently Bought Together - 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard, Bluetooth/2.4G/USB-C Hot Swappable Gaming Keyboard with 87 Keys, Dual Super Buttons and Super Stick for Windows and Android - C64 Edition - 8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad, Supports Calculator Mode, Bluetooth/2.4G/Wired Numpad for Windows and Android - C64 Edition - LOFREE Touch PBT Wireless Mouse with USB Receiver, Bluetooth, Wired Connection, Rechargeable, 4000 DPI with OLED Screen Compatible with Glass Surface for Mac Windows PC Notebook/Block Retro Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/633499512-8bitdo-retro-mechanical-keyboard-bluetooth-2-4g-usb-c-hot](https://www.desertcart.in/products/633499512-8bitdo-retro-mechanical-keyboard-bluetooth-2-4g-usb-c-hot) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
