This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clak, ...you won't go back....
They make this monstrosity of a mouse to go with it, https://www.8bitdo.com/n30-wireless-mouse/
At least the balanced the price of the mouse with how terrible it would be to use as a daily driver.
I need qmk support. I don't like dealing with other software anymore for remapping keyboards.
They really make good stuff. I have their SN30 pro wireless retro gamepad and it's awesome.
I have their SN30 pro wireless retro game pad and it IS awesome. To the point where I don’t want to share it when friends come over
time to get another. The new translucent green and purple look FIREEE
I don't need another mechanical keyboard, but I do need a Nintendo themed one with massive buttons I can program.
Ordered....
I'm just pissed I didn't think of this myself as a custom keyboard layout. Guess I would have then been pissed that someone else commercialized my concept.
Looks like I need an attitude adjustment.
Ive seen a few others try to stylize their keyboards like the NES, but im happy this is going to be a widely accessible product.
Huge firefox button, huge terminal button.
In fact, forget the keyboard.
We need only two buttons, 1 and 0. A bit slow to write on though.
I'm a pretty big fan on 8bitdo. I have several wired and wireless pads from them. Something about it just clicks for me, and their new translucent models are just awesome.
I've been on the edge of buying a mechanical keyboard for months, ya know, doing the dance of having one or three in cart, ready to go. But this actually made me pull the trigger and do the pre order. A sin in gaming I know, but this is so fucking cool from a brand thats been consistently quality for me, its a no brainer.
I wanted something with Bluetooth, dongle, and wired USB C. Check.
I wanted a volume knob. Make or break feature for me. I just like the tactile feeling of a knob, so check.
Also it comes with one of the big dual button macro button controllers! Neat!
Kinda reads shilly. Im just excited.
Something about it clicks for me
You must be a Cherry MX Blue fan
I love 8BitDo’s products, but I really have no idea what use case those giant buttons are attempting to cater to.
They aren’t good for gaming, and are way too limited when compared to multi-button Stream Decks.
I understand they are detachable, but they just look like e-waste to me.
Looks like a novelty gimmick e.g., have a scripted sequence for starting a build.
In the past I've seen people having these type of buttons on their desktop and are mostly motivated by a joke that worked for a couple of days.
I have a large button on my desk that sets all the lights to red and turns on some sexy music.
I have never used it.
That's a missed opportunity to set it for general quarters or some very sexy action stations.
Does it have to be wireless, tho....
No Linux or MacOS support? Presumably that means just for their software and it will still present as a normal keyboard, so will still technically work?
No super or compose key, pass...
Oh wow, just another generic mech keyboard.
...oh wait I kind of really want it.
Except I'd like it without the two giant buttons. I won't ever use those lol
The buttons are detachable, fortunately
No shipping options for me 😢

It looks pretty cool, but why is it missing a numpad? That's kind of a big deal, even for people who just want to play games.
E. g. Caves of Qud is designed to move with num keys. And playing a fighting game on keyboard is way better with them too.
I doubt they do Scandinavian layouts?
I would love a modern C64-themed keyboard myself.
I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it
I need it!
