Even the charging dock features special E-Day branding.

And with official licensing from Xbox and Gears of War, it's a fantastic addition for fans of the franchise.

The Locust might be terrifying, but this mouse? Absolutely gorgeous!

PAW3395 Optical Sensor. Precision Worth Fighting For! 🎯

When every second counts, you need a mouse that can keep up.

The Retro R8 features the high-performance PixArt PAW3395 optical sensor, designed for accurate and responsive tracking.

With sensitivity adjustments reaching up to 26,000 DPI, you can configure the mouse to suit different gaming styles.

Prefer lower sensitivity for precision aiming?

Sorted.

Want higher sensitivity for faster cursor movement?

No problem!

Whether you're lining up a headshot, navigating a complicated strategy game or working across multiple monitors, the PAW3395 offers excellent tracking capabilities.

Because missing your shot when a Locust is charging at you? Not lekker, bru!

Six Adjustable DPI Levels. Your Sensitivity, Your Rules! ⚡

Every gamer has a preferred mouse sensitivity.

That's why the Retro R8 includes six adjustable DPI levels.

Quickly switch between different sensitivity settings to match your preferred playstyle.

Use lower DPI settings for careful aiming or higher settings for faster movement.

For more detailed adjustments, use 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 on your PC.

Your mouse shouldn't tell you how to play. You tell it!

Up to 8000Hz Polling Rate. Ready for Serious PC Gaming! 🚀

Fast-paced gaming demands responsive equipment.

The Retro R8 supports configurable polling rates through compatible 8BitDo software.

Its supported maximum polling rates are:

• Wired USB: Up to 8000Hz
• 2.4GHz Wireless: Up to 4000Hz
• Bluetooth: 125Hz

Higher polling rates allow the mouse to report movement and button information more frequently to the computer.

It's a useful feature for competitive PC gamers who prioritise responsive inputs.

Fast reactions deserve fast hardware, bru!

Maximum polling rates depend on connection mode, PC configuration and software settings.

HUANO Micro-Switches. Up to 100 Million Clicks! 🖱️

A proper gaming mouse needs buttons that can handle serious action.

The Retro R8 features HUANO micro-switches, rated for up to 100 million clicks.

These switches are designed to provide dependable, responsive button activation.

Whether you're firing, selecting commands or clicking through everyday work, they're built for repeated use.

And let's be honest, Gears of War isn't exactly a game where you press the mouse button once and call it a day!

Click after click. Battle after battle. Ready for more!

Four Programmable Side Buttons. More Controls at Your Fingertips! 🎮

Using compatible software, you can switch between left-handed and right-handed button modes.

This allows you to configure the mouse to suit your preferred hand.

It's a thoughtful feature for a gaming mouse with a strong focus on customisation.

450mAh Battery. Up to 105 Hours of Wireless Gaming! 🔋

Nobody wants their mouse battery giving up halfway through a battle.

According to 8BitDo's official specifications:

• Bluetooth Battery Life: Up to 100 hours
• 2.4GHz Battery Life: Approximately 26–105 hours, depending on polling rate

Your ammo might run out before your battery does! 😂

Lightweight 77g Design. Fast and Comfortable! 🪶

Gaming sessions can get intense.

That's why a comfortable mouse is essential.

The Retro R8 weighs approximately 77g, offering a relatively lightweight feel for everyday gaming and productivity.

Its compact shape measures 115 × 58 × 39.4mm, making it a great choice for users who prefer a smaller mouse.
