8BitDo is renowned for producing some of the finest third-party peripherals for consoles and PCs, including a growing line of mechanical keyboards. Much like its controllers, 8BitDo's Retro Mechanical Keyboards draw inspiration from classic video game hardware. The initial offerings featured designs based on the NES and Famicom, but the latest release, the C64 Edition, stands out as the coolest and is currently available at its lowest price ever during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days. This edition, inspired by the Commodore 64, is marked down from $110 to $74.89. It includes a detachable arcade stick and the unique Super Buttons, which are two large microswitch buttons. The Super Stick is exclusive to the C64 Edition.

Other models in the series, such as the Famicom, NES, and the recently added M Edition (inspired by the old IBM keyboard), are also on sale at similar discounts. Despite the C64 Edition typically costing $10 more, it is currently the least expensive. If the arcade stick isn't a priority and you're looking for a reliable mechanical keyboard with a color scheme reminiscent of the original Nintendo, the price difference among these models is minimal. All four keyboards support wireless connections via 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, as well as wired connections via USB-C.

8BitDo has consistently delivered accessories with superior performance and build quality for their price points. These keyboards are no exception, offering a genuinely great experience. They feature hot-swappable PCBs, allowing for easy key switch replacements. The C64 Edition boasts Double-Shot ABS keycaps with an SA profile, giving them a rounder, more contoured shape. The other models come with Dye-sub PBT keycaps and Kailh Box White Switches (V2).

With 8BitDo's Ultimate Software V2 for PC, users can remap keys and the Super Buttons. Originally designed as tenkeyless keyboards, 8BitDo now offers matching mechanical numpads that double as calculators, which are also on sale for the first time during Prime Big Deal Days. These keyboards are advertised as compatible with Windows and Android, but they have also been successfully used wirelessly with iOS, Mac, Steam Deck, and other devices that support Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless keyboards. However, the Ultimate Software V2 is not currently available for Apple devices.

Additionally, numerous other 8BitDo products are on sale during Prime Big Deal Days, including wireless controllers for the Nintendo Switch and PC.
