Diving Deeper: 8BitDo Retro 87 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard – Xbox Edition
This keyboard is a true partnership with Xbox, evident in the 8BitDo Retro 87 TKL Xbox Edition`s thoughtful design. It boasts a translucent green plastic shell and directional keys that mirror the vibrant colors of Xbox controller face buttons. A dedicated, integrated Xbox button is also included, providing quick access to the Xbox overlay menu on Windows. A standout feature, shared with 8BitDo`s other console-inspired mechanical keyboards, is the detachable panel equipped with two large, customizable microswitch “Super Buttons,” offering enhanced versatility.
Functionality meets flair with the Retro 87`s RGB lighting. It offers flexible connectivity options, officially supporting Windows, Mac, and Android devices via 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, or a direct wired connection using the included USB-C cable, which perfectly matches the keyboard’s distinctive green color scheme. Users can personalize keybindings and fine-tune various settings through 8BitDo`s intuitive Ultimate Software V2 app, available for PC, Mac, and mobile platforms. As an added bonus, a free one-month trial for new PC Game Pass subscribers is included in the box.
Spotlight: 8BitDo Retro R8 Wireless Mouse + Charging Dock – Xbox Edition
The Retro R8 Wireless Mouse is designed for comfort and precision, featuring an ambidextrous form factor and four additional programmable buttons – two on each side – which thoughtfully match the colors of the Xbox controller`s face buttons. Connectivity is seamless across PC, Mac, and Android devices, supporting both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless via an included dongle. This dongle can be conveniently stored either within the mouse itself or in the accompanying magnetic charging dock. For users who prefer a wired setup, the Retro R8 includes a green USB-C cable (just like the keyboard) for both charging and direct wired usage. The mouse also supports direct charging, ensuring portability without needing the dock.
Users can customize the Retro R8`s settings using the comprehensive Ultimate Software V2 app on desktop or mobile. Like the keyboard, the mouse comes bundled with a one-month trial to PC Game Pass for new subscribers. However, it`s important to note that only one PC Game Pass voucher can be redeemed per user if both the keyboard and mouse are purchased.
Beyond the Xbox-themed offerings, 8BitDo also introduced an NES-themed edition of the Retro R8 Mouse in May, priced at $50. The Retro R8 is 8BitDo`s second gaming mouse, following the unique N30 2.4GHz Wireless Mouse, which distinguishes itself with a D-pad instead of traditional side buttons and a touch panel for scrolling. The N30 is currently available for $25 (down from $30).

For those interested in different aesthetic themes, several other 8BitDo Tenkeyless (TKL) wireless keyboards are currently on sale. All of 8BitDo`s keyboards draw inspiration from classic retro game consoles or computers, including the iconic NES-inspired N Edition, the Famicom-inspired Fami Edition, and the Commodore 64-themed C64 Edition. Among these, the Fami Edition TKL offers the most attractive discount, available for $80 (originally $100).
All 8BitDo keyboards provide versatile connectivity, supporting 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired connections across PC, Mac, and mobile devices. Each keyboard comes equipped with a unique “Super Button” module and is fully compatible with 8BitDo`s Ultimate Software, allowing users to rebind keys, create complex macros, and fine-tune various settings.
