8BitDo’s first mechanical keyboard is down to its best price to date

With all the excitement over the 2024 Olympics, it’s easy to forget that this weekend is the last weekend of July. Yet, as August approaches, so does back-to-school season. We’ve pulled together a list of gadgets and goods fit for the occasion, but if you need another suggestion, 8BitDo’s Retro Mechanical Keyboard is down to an all-time low at Woot. Now through July 30th, you can buy the “N Edition” model for $69.99 ($30 off) or the Famicom-inspired “Fami Edition” for $59.99 ($40 off), both of which come with a 90-day Woot warranty.

No matter which you choose, both tenkeyless mechanical keyboards can spruce up any home office or add a bit of fun to long study sessions. The Western-style “N Edition” is inspired by the original NES controller, while the cheaper board resembles the OG Famicom in color and styling. Both come with a pair of programmable “Super Buttons” that scream retro, along with clicky hot-swappable switches that allow for a more customized experience. Even better, both support USB-C and other connectivity modes, including Bluetooth and even 2.4GHz wireless via a dongle.
