That dual-button attachment would be wonderful for split timers for speedrunners. Big and slappable.

[BritonRites]

I have a gaming pc inside of an NES. This goes perfectly with it, picking this up for sure.

Just when I thought I was done buying keyboards 8Bitdo drags me right back in

[thomasgarzelloni]

I wish they had a version with a number pad..

[SageOwl]

Definitely gonna get this board whenever I get a chance to. Box White V2 are damn good switches and the fact they threw those in there is awesome. Famicom colors too... I'm a sucker for that aesthetic. I hope the stabs have been tuned and don't rattle.

[rharvier]

I received my keyboard yesterday and it's so nice. The switches are the first of its kid that I've used and I'm really impressed. This whole keyboard is just awesome.

[lorenzmartincruz]

I was never into mechanical keyboards and found it too expensive, but seeing this for the first time it was love at first sight and I knew I had to have this (and the matching mouse too)

[darthnael]

Those huge buttons are going to be lifesavers on video conferences!

[darktetsuya]

not gonna lie a little tempted on this one! love how the Japanese version retains all the hiragana/katakana that I'd assume was the same as the Famicom's official keyboard.

[Retrotude]

I'm planning on getting this for using with my Steam Deck while it's docked. I'm especially curious to try out some single button rhythm games like ADOFAI and Rhythm Doctor with the jumbo-sized buttons.

[jubsy]

Looks rad but needs a full size version. Can't work without my tenkey.

[Badhead]

Saw this. Fell in love with it. Went to Amazon UK and immediately pre-ordered it. I went for the Fami edition, purely as it has Japanese lettering on the keys. In the UK, we don't get it until November 1st, but that's cool. Really looking forward to it. Thanks for the video on this product.

Thumbnail bring back my childhood when i used to have NES keyboard console then you run 2000 Education computer 48 in 1.

[Justin-klmp]

Recently bought it online for the equivalent of $50 in my country. Absolute steal if you ask me.

[mukiex]

I use V1 Box Whites for every arcade stick I can fit them into. You sold me on the V2 announcement alone. Got a Famicom-style one en route XD
edit: It's been great. Bought a numpad to go with it and got more Famicom-style keys on Aliexpress. Thanks again for this rec!

[InJeffable]

I bought the Famicom version of this keyboard. I grew up with the NES, but I just thought the Famicom version looked a lot nicer.

It feels amazing to type on. Coming off a keyboard with the excellent Cherry MX Red switches, I find that I significantly prefer the Kailh switches in this 8BitDo keyboard. They're clicky but not obnoxiously so, and typing is smooth while still providing satisfying feedback. It all makes for a very balanced typing experience.

[Bigheadedwon]

I love how this and the C64 one look. Wish it was backlit though. And would be slick if they offered a wireless version of the button pad.

But I’m still tempted to be extra and order one with 4 more buttons pads so I can have 10 huge macro buttons, just because.

I really really wish they had a backlit version.

[backfandangoX]

is the big button device durable enough and have a long enough cable for it to be used on the floor by your feet?

[arvinrunstein]

The NES version was completely sold out so I ended up getting the Famicon version and it's great.

UP/DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT, A/B, START/SELECT
Theoretically, you could make a giant NES controller and use all the macro button jacks for it.
