8BitDo Xbox Edition Wireless Keyboard Gets a Major Discount

The 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Wireless Keyboard (Xbox Edition) is now available at a significant discount, priced at just $70 on Woot or $98 on Amazon (originally $120). This officially licensed wireless gaming keyboard, featuring a transparent green casing, draws direct inspiration from the design of the original Xbox console. It initially launched in January alongside the matching 8BitDo Retro R8 Wireless Mouse, and the manufacturer later expanded the series in May with the Ultimate 3-Mode Controller, sporting the same distinctive transparent green color scheme.

Designed in close collaboration with Xbox, the Retro 87 TKL keyboard showcases a translucent green shell, a direct nod to the original Xbox console. Its directional keys are colored to perfectly match the iconic face buttons of an Xbox controller, enhancing its retro appeal. A dedicated Xbox button is integrated for quick access to the Xbox overlay menu on Windows. Following the successful formula of 8BitDo’s other console-inspired mechanical keyboards, the Retro 87 TKL comes equipped with a detachable module featuring two large, customizable microswitch buttons, adding extra functionality. The keyboard boasts vibrant RGB lighting and offers flexible connectivity options including 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and a wired USB-C connection, making it compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android devices. A color-matched USB-C cable is included for charging and wired play. Users can personalize key bindings and fine-tune other settings using the intuitive 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 application. As an added bonus, a one-month trial for new PC Game Pass subscribers is bundled with each purchase.

The Retro R8 mouse boasts an ambidextrous design, complemented by four additional programmable buttons—two on each side—which are colored to perfectly match the face buttons of an Xbox controller. It connects seamlessly to PC, Mac, and Android devices via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless using the included dongle, offering versatile compatibility. For convenient charging and storage, the mouse comes with a magnetic charging dock. Should you prefer a wired connection or simply need to charge, a vibrant green USB-C cable is provided, matching the aesthetic of the Xbox Edition line. All mouse settings, including button remapping, can be effortlessly customized through the 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 app available for desktop or mobile. Similar to the keyboard, a one-month trial to PC Game Pass is included for new subscribers. However, please note that only one voucher (from either the keyboard or mouse purchase) can be redeemed per user.
