87-Key Tenkeyless Layout. Compact but Capable! ⌨️

Who says you need a massive keyboard to get serious work done?

The N Edition features a compact 87-key tenkeyless (TKL) layout, giving you the essentials without a bulky numeric keypad.

You still get:

• Full alphanumeric keys
• Dedicated function keys
• Arrow keys
• Navigation controls
• Convenient productivity shortcuts

But with more room on your desk for your mouse, gaming accessories, and that emergency coffee.

Whether you're working, gaming, coding, or browsing the internet, the layout offers an excellent balance of functionality and space efficiency.

Less desk clutter. More mouse room. Maximum retro happiness!

Kailh Box White V2 Switches. Clicky Mechanical Goodness! 🔥

Love the satisfying sound of a proper mechanical keyboard?

Then you're going to enjoy this!

The N Edition comes equipped with Kailh Box White V2 mechanical switches, delivering a crisp, tactile, clicky typing experience.

These switches provide an audible click and noticeable feedback when pressed.

They're particularly appealing to keyboard enthusiasts who enjoy traditional mechanical typing.

Whether you're writing emails, programming, or smashing out a document at lightning speed, every keypress has that unmistakable mechanical character.

Click. Click. Click. Productivity has never sounded this lekker! 😂

These are audible clicky switches and may not be ideal for quiet offices or shared workspaces.

Hot-Swappable PCB. Your Keyboard, Your Switches! 🛠️

Fancy experimenting with different mechanical switches?

No problem!

The Retro Mechanical Keyboard features a hot-swappable PCB, allowing you to replace compatible mechanical switches without soldering.

8BitDo confirms support for compatible 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches.

Prefer smooth linear switches?

Go for it!

Want something tactile without the click?

You've got options!

It's a fantastic feature for enthusiasts who enjoy customising their typing experience.

Your keyboard. Your switches. Your rules!

Dual Super Buttons. Big Buttons. Even Bigger Possibilities! 🔴

Now this is where things get really interesting!

The N Edition includes 8BitDo's brilliant Dual Super Buttons.

These two oversized, arcade-inspired buttons connect to the keyboard and can be programmed to perform supported functions.

Want a massive shortcut button?

Sorted!

Need quick access to a regularly used command?

Easy!

Fancy making your desk look like something straight out of an old-school arcade?

Now we're talking, bru! 😎

The included Dual Super Buttons can be configured with supported key commands and macros, offering a fun and practical way to personalise your setup.

And because they're separate from the keyboard, you can position them wherever they're most convenient.

Two giant red buttons. Unlimited retro personality!

Quick Mapping. No Software Required! ⚡

Here's something especially clever.

The Dual Super Buttons support fast button mapping directly from the keyboard, allowing you to assign supported key functions without installing additional software.

That means you can quickly personalise the large buttons for everyday tasks.

Whether you're creating a convenient shortcut or experimenting with different controls, the setup is wonderfully straightforward.

For more advanced customisation, you can use 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2.

Because sometimes pressing one giant button is much more satisfying than remembering five keyboard shortcuts!

8BitDo Ultimate Software V2. Make It Yours! 🎛️

Love customising your gaming gear?

8BitDo has you covered!

The Retro Mechanical Keyboard supports 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2, allowing you to personalise supported keyboard functions.

Depending on the configuration, you can:

• Remap supported keys
• Assign custom commands
• Create macros
• Configure programmable buttons
• Personalise your shortcuts

Whether you're gaming, designing, programming, or working through repetitive tasks, it's a fantastic way to make your keyboard work for you.

Your keyboard. Your commands. Your perfect setup!

Three Ways to Connect. Wireless Freedom Sorted! 📡

Why settle for one connection option when you can have three?

The N Edition offers:

2.4GHz Wireless

Connect using the included USB receiver for convenient wireless operation.

Bluetooth Low Energy

Enjoy cable-free connectivity with compatible Windows and Android devices.

Wired USB-C

Prefer a direct connection? Simply connect the keyboard using the supplied USB cable.

The independent control panel makes selecting your connection mode refreshingly straightforward.

And there's even a magnetic compartment for storing the wireless adapter.

Three connection modes. One seriously versatile keyboard!

Independent Control Panel. Retro Controls Done Right! 🎚️

Instead of hiding every function behind complicated keyboard shortcuts, 8BitDo gives you a dedicated control panel.

The Retro Mechanical Keyboard includes convenient physical controls for connection selection and volume adjustment.

Switch between supported connection modes or adjust the volume without hunting through menus.

It's a thoughtful design feature inspired by classic gaming hardware.

Simple.

Practical.

And wonderfully nostalgic.

Who knew a keyboard could make adjusting the volume feel this cool?

2000mAh Battery. Up to 200 Hours of Wireless Typing! 🔋

Nobody wants their keyboard battery dying in the middle of a gaming session.

That's just rude!

Thankfully, the N Edition features a generous 2000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

According to 8BitDo's specifications, it offers:

• Up to 200 Hours of Battery Life
• Approximately 4 Hours Charging Time
• USB-C Charging

That means plenty of typing and gaming time between charges.

And when the battery needs recharging, simply connect the USB cable.

Your coffee supply might run out before this keyboard does! 😂

Dye-Sub PBT Keycaps. Built for Serious Typing! 💎

A proper mechanical keyboard deserves proper keycaps.

The N Edition comes equipped with dye-sublimation PBT keycaps, designed for durability and a premium typing feel.

PBT is a popular material among keyboard enthusiasts thanks to its resistance to developing a shiny surface through everyday use.

The keycaps also feature an MDA-like profile, contributing to the keyboard's distinctive retro appearance and sculpted typing feel.

It's a great combination of classic design and modern mechanical keyboard construction.

Good looks. Great feel. Proper retro quality!

Aluminium Plate & Top-Mount Construction. Premium Feel! 💪

The N Edition isn't just about retro styling.

Underneath its colourful design is a thoughtfully engineered mechanical keyboard.

It features an aluminium plate and top-mount construction, providing a sturdy foundation for the mechanical switches.

The keyboard weighs approximately 1.05kg, giving it a substantial feel on your desk.

Whether you're gaming or typing for hours, it feels like a proper piece of desktop equipment.

Old-school personality. Serious modern construction!

N-Key Rollover. Every Keypress Counts! 🎮

Ever pressed multiple keys at once and wondered why some of them didn't register?

Not ideal!

Thankfully, the Retro Mechanical Keyboard supports N-key rollover.

This allows the keyboard to register multiple simultaneous keypresses accurately under supported conditions.

It's particularly useful for gaming and fast typing.

Whether you're entering complicated shortcuts or navigating your favourite games, the keyboard is designed to keep up.

Fast fingers? Bring them on!

Four Expansion Ports. Add Even More Retro Fun! 🔌

Already love the included Dual Super Buttons?

Good news!

The Retro Mechanical Keyboard features four dedicated 3.5mm expansion ports for compatible 8BitDo keyboard accessories.

You can connect up to four sets of supported Super Buttons, with one set already included.

8BitDo also offers compatible keyboard extensions, including additional Super Buttons and other retro-inspired controls.

These accessories can make your keyboard setup even more personalised.

Your keyboard could become a miniature arcade control station. How lekker is that?

Additional keyboard extensions are sold separately. The expansion ports are not headphone or microphone connections.
