Gewoon super. Bouwkwaliteit, mogelijkheden, de waanzinnige looks. En bizar fijn typen. Echt een topper. Op kantoor al vele jaloerse blikken gehad.

It's not a proper keyboard if you couldn't kill a man with it. Decent build quality. Nice clickty-clack sound. Reminds me of the old school keyboards you found attached to green screens and chunky workstations in the 80s and early 90s.

Lo primero es que compré este teclado porque necesitaba uno y recordaba haber visto una noticia hará unos meses. En su momento me gustó mucho la estética y me lo compré sin pensarlo demasiado ni mirar si era el mejor teclado para mis necesidades (no lo es). Llevo solo un día con el pero ya puedo dar una primera visión de las cosas buenas y malas:+ Estética: seguramente si piensas en comprarlo es principalmente por la estética+ Robusto: aunque es todo de plástico se ve robusto+ Opciones de conectividad: Bluetooth, Cable y 2,4GHz+ Opciones de macros: permite asignar combinaciones de teclas a un par de teclas y a los botones gigantes y además se puede hacer directamente en el teclado, sin necesidad de software+ Control de volumen: tiene un control rotatorio para subir y bajar el volumen- Batería integrada: no sabía que llevaba y aunque para alguien será un punto positivo para mi es negativo. Las baterías integradas ponen una fecha de caducidad a los productos. Vale, en algunos casos se puede cambiar, pero no están pensadas para ello. No sé si resulta fácil en este teclado.- No tiene retroiluminación- No tiene patas. No se puede regular en altura- Instrucciones escuetas. No hay mucho en el manual de instrucciones. La letra es mega pequeña. Tengo alguna duda sobre las posibilidades para recargar la batería pero no parece que las resuelva.Por lo demás, a mi me está resultando bastante cómodo y es tan bonito como en las fotos y videos.

Tastiera semplicemente fantastica. Stile unico, supporta sia 2.4GHz che Bluetooth, la batteria ha una durata assurda e, ovviamente, supporta quei fantastici bottoni per le macro.Le macro sono semplici da configurare, anche senza aprire il software. Il software lo ho dovuto usare solo per l'aggiornamento del firmware e per configurare dei tasti macro con funzioni non presenti sulla tastiera (come play/pausa). Purtroppo al momento il sfotware supporta solo la comunicazione via USB.Inizialmente ero preoccupato per il layout, ma devo essere sincero: una volta che ci si fa l'abitudine, il layout americano è molto comodo. Abilitando su Windows il layout Americano Internazionale, si possono scrivere molto semplicemente gli accenti, anche per le lettere maiuscole.

Really enjoying this keyboard even after only a short couple hours of owning it. It feels incredibly well built, the keys feel great and are responsive, and it has a host of features and connectivity options that really make getting this keyboard a no-brainer especially if you plan to use it between multiple devices. The super buttons are fun and are easy to program, I'd imagine that they'd be incredibly useful for programs like OBS, which is why I was drawn to this keyboard specifically.Overall, genuinely impressed and it will be well used in my day to day. If you're considering looking for a nice simple keyboard with some additional features, this is an excellent option!

見た目も良いし不満ところは無し

8bitdo is known for their wireless controllers and it seems like they've decided to expand into mechanical keyboards. This is a great first attempt by them! I have a couple mechanical keyboards so I'm not an expert by any means, but I'll try to make it make sense for newbies.I have a Redragon K556 Pro that I used to type on before I got this and 8bitdo's has blown that out of the water.Battery life:The battery life is fantastic. I can't get my redragon to last more than a couple days even with turning off the keyboard at the end of the day. I haven't had to charge the battery yet for 8bitdo's and I started using it around early November 2023. Can't remember if it was bluetooth or 2.4 so I'll update when I check next time I'm in the office.The switches:I swapped out the switches in my Redragon for speed silvers which I do love, but I also love the switches on the 8bitdo keyboard. If you're a newbie to mechanical keyboards, the switches they use on 8bitdo's are the Kailh White switches which aren't super noisy, but aren't linear either. They're tactile. They're louder than speed silvers but still type nicely and aren't as loud as cherry blue switches. The clickiness volume sounds like a normal keyboard so your coworkers won't be super unhappy with you unless you're an angry typer like I am, lol. They sold me on the Kailh switches so if I ever decide to switch, that's what I'm using.The keycaps:I swapped out my keycaps on my Redragon which have a KCA profile. I wasn't super happy with them because I kept mistyping. I'm more of a Cherry girl. If I had to guess which keycap profile these were, these look a lot like DSA or XDA which are probably more my speed. They remind me of the XVX XDA profile keycaps actually (also sold on amazon), which are about same height as a normal keyboard's keycaps. That was smart because that makes this as close to a normal keyboard with the benefits of a mechanical keyboard. It's great for those who are thinking about swapping to a mechanical keyboard but also don't want to sink $$$ into one or wasting money trying to find the right keycap profiles for their typing style.The big red buttons:These are just so fun to use! It took me a second to figure out how to program them, but the instructions included were very helpful so I figured it out. They also weren't on fragile paper and I have it hiding under the buttons. It came with stickers too. I programmed my two to be Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V because they are my most used buttons and they work great when I remember to use them. My coworkers love to come over and mess with me by clicking them. These are wired, but the wire is long enough and unobtrusive.Was this worth it?:Absolutely 100% worth it. Mechanical keyboards get so costly. The fact that they made this keyboard $99.99 is extremely accessible when you consider that mechanical keyboards can cost hundreds. I hope to see a full sized version someday. No lie, I also wish they sold the keycaps because I absolutely love the retro aesthetic of this keyboard. It feels good and looks good so I would recommend this.

I have used a few mechanical keyboards over the years, but there is something about the way these switches feel, it legitimately feels good typing on this thing, I've mostly used cherry and romer g switches, usually tactile with a few clicky, these clicky switches are a big surprise, not as loud as others not as sharp of a click, just very satisfying. Actually very recently I got to try out some linear switches and I really liked them, and was worried I wouldn't like this keyboard, I was even looking into buying replacement linear switches, which you can do with this keyboard if you want, but it's just such a delight out of the box.So the keys feel good, that's probably the most important part, I don't believe 8bitdo's software is out yet, so programming the keys is still done directly on the keyboard, I would like to see legit software soon though, The volume knob works but won't earn any awards, it can freely spin in either direction lowering or raising the volume, so it can look like it's pointing towards low volume when you turn it up, it's a small issue. The input knob is awesome, I often switch between my pc and my steam deck and I love how easy it is. the 2.4 feels great and I've had no issues on bluetooth.It looks good, it just does, I've actually always liked the idea of having a retro style keyboard, this ticks all the boxes for me while still being a fully featured keyboard at a great price. It's all plastic but it feels nice, I thought the strip at the top that says 8bitdo and has the lines like an nes would just be a sticker but it's a printed on piece of plastic, much nicer. The power button is gorgeous. This thing is awesome I love it, now I'm rambling because it just feels nice to type, so I'll end it here, if you think this looks good then you should buy it.
