    This thing looks great, feels great. Sounds great. As an older computer user (old enough to actually use the term computer user). I miss the era of mechanical keyboards and this bad boy is several times the size, weight and heft of the Logitech bluetooth keyboard that it is replacing. Don’t get me wrong Logitech makes some good stuff but this is just in a completely different weight class.
    I am totally going to order 8bitdo’s NES themed mouse after getting this!
    This is 8bitjoystick, Stay Awesome, Play Retro!

    I got the Fami edition too. This thing feels so good to type on that I've already decided that I don't want to type on anything else. And this is coming from someone who was previously using a keyboard with excellent Cherry MX Red switches. The Kailh Box V2 White switches in the 8BitDo Retro Keyboard strike a great balance between smooth typing and tactile feedback.

      I bought this for the rad Famicom aesthetics but I'm going to keep using it for the awesome typing experience. It feels so much better than a little Bluetooth keyboard I was using

    Just picked one of these up. I have a ton of keyboards, and thought they were pretty good as far as "feel" goes. This one is by far the best.

    I would buy the keyboard and swap out the switches to Zaku switches

    • @8bitjoystick
      @8bitjoystick  Год назад +3

      Zaku switches? Is that you Red Comet?!? Are you some kind of Principality of Zeon supporter? Honestly the stock switches are good enough for me in this one.

    Damn Im still torn between the NES and the FamiCom version. The sound of the keyboard is more than enough for me. Clicky but not to the point that its too loud

    • @8bitjoystick
      @8bitjoystick  Год назад

      Well it's not super loud, but it feels like an IBM keyboard from the 1980s. That's a very good thing. I actually find myself typing faster on this than my little Bluetooth keyboard that it replaced

  • @PowerSynopsis
    @PowerSynopsis 11 месяцев назад +1

    I would have liked to seen more gold, backlights, and maybe a numpad on this keyboard. I really, really like it and the kana on the keycaps is a nice touch.

    • @8bitjoystick
      @8bitjoystick  11 месяцев назад

      Well, the original Famicom did not have a power light. I actually like the fact that it doesn't have a numerical keypad. I rarely use those and I like that. It is big and comfortable. By the way, the kana on the keyboard is not just there to be cool, but it's a legitimate japanese keyboard. They designed this thing to be sold in Japan as well.

    • @8bitjoystick
      @8bitjoystick  11 месяцев назад

      Well, the full size keyboard is a lot more comfortable. I like my little Logitech keyboard, but it's no longer what I'm mainly using. I initially got this keyboard for the aesthetics but now I love it for the ergonomics.

    • @8bitjoystick
      @8bitjoystick  11 месяцев назад

      What's crazy is how many ways it can connect to a computer. There's Bluetooth, there's a USB 2.4g dongle and if you connect the USB port to a computer, I think you can actually use it as a USB keyboard. I regret not spending more time typing on it on this video because since then it has been an absolute ergonomic comfortable joy to use.

    what do those star and heart buttons on the top left do?

    • @8bitjoystick
      @8bitjoystick  Год назад +2

      The star is fast key mapping buttons so you can program what the big additional external buttons do. The heart button is for switching profiles. Apparently you can download additional software and have different profiles for customizing what the buttons and f keys do. I can see this thing being popular with programmers, but I'm looking forward to using it for video editing

      ​@@8bitjoystickAppreciate the response, i have no idea what i would use the extra external buttons for at all haha. The whole thing looks nice, and i like 8bitdo. But no backlight or num pad keeps me on the fence about actually buying it.

      ​@@meloboi8411oh I'm completely down with no number pad. I actually greatly prefer using the number row on top of the keyboard. And I sort of think LED light up keyboards are a little garish. I actually find myself typing a lot faster on this bad boy.

    • @8bitjoystick
      @8bitjoystick  Год назад

      What would the brown switches resemble? I actually really like the old school design. I have been using computers since the early '80s and it is deliciously retro. Also, I wouldn't call my video a "decent normal review" but I guess I'll take the compliment
