Review: Clicky, beautiful, and satisfying! - Quality product, great features, great price, amazing keyboard. This actually feels good to type on, and sounds incredible. If you like a nice loud, clicky (like loud clicky) keyboard, this is it. I can't decide which style of it looks best, but this M edition is gorgeous. It is both subtle, retro, and still feels modern somehow. I can't recommend it enough. If you're on the fence, this is that message. Buy it
Review: After six months - This review comes after six months of daily use for work, and play, using this keyboard. Appearance: I like it. it is reminiscent of the C64 keyboard but not exactly the same. It doesn't blind you with RGB lights either, which is great. Durability: I don't see any fading of the lettering on the keys. Everything is still working. Feel: I like the feel of the keys, but not everyone will. You have to push the keys down further than on some keyboards. I also like the sound they make over that of past keyboards; it's like a duller clicky sound. Connections: I have always used it with the USB cable. It offers the use of both Bluetooth or Wi-Fi if you want to use it wirelessly, but then you have to charge or power it in some way. Annoyance: There are "engraved" lines running around the keyboard and they can be hard to clean if something gets in there. Bonus feature! Since the keyboard uses a type C port for USB, it can be plugged directly into an IPad and it works instantly (I used the cable that came with the IPad). No need for an adapter like most keyboards would need. Of course, you have to think about power when doing this. Either it will use the IPad power or it uses an internal battery, I'm not sure which it uses in this case. I just remembered today that this came with two big buttons and a little joystick, so now I'm trying to think of something to use them for. I have not used any of the other features like the keyboard mapping software, the profiles, or the two programmable buttons between the alt and ctrl keys on the right side. Since everything else is so well made, I assume that those things would work well too. Summary: So far, I think it is my favorite keyboard, over the forty years that I've used keyboards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and great looking keyboard, made by a well established brand.
*by P***K on May 21, 2026*

I've been using this keyboard for over a year or two, and it has been working great with no issues! 8Bitdo is a very reliable brand of electronics; I've purchased different products made by them, and the quality never lets me down. They keyboard is heavy and stays in place. The keys are a little loud if you dig it and offer nice haptic feedback while typing. The two large red buttons also work well, and can be binded to just about any action. I use them as media buttons for play and next. A new version was released with the Numeric keypad, but if you need a smaller format, this is a nice portable size for smaller desks. I've used both the Bluetooth setting and the adapter, it was compatible on Windows 10, Windows 11 and an Apple tablet with zero issues. They also make 'em in different styles if you don't dig the NES look.
