The much-anticipated 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard – Mecha Break Edition has officially hit the market, but there’s a catch: it’s currently out of stock at major retailers. This retro-inspired keyboard, recently available for pre-order, faced a quick sell-out on Amazon, leaving enthusiasts eager to find alternative ways to purchase it.
Luckily, there’s still a chance to snag this nostalgic piece of tech. You can order directly from 8BitDo’s online store, which serves customers worldwide. Priced at $119.99, just like the Amazon listing, buyers should be ready for a bit of a wait. Orders from the eShop won’t begin shipping until July 22, but you’ll receive the same package with all its unique features.
This special edition keyboard includes 8BitDo’s Dual Super Buttons, a 2.4GHz adapter, 21 extra PBT keycaps, a keycaps puller, and three playful stickers. While Amazon US is currently out of stock, fans in the UK can still pre-order it on Amazon UK for £104.99, although they’ll need to be patient until its release on September 19.
The keyboard itself is a delight for tech enthusiasts and gamers alike, boasting 87 keys with Kailh Glaze Jellyfish Pro switches and an RGB backlight. Its hot-swappable PCB offers versatility, and you can connect via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, or wired USB, making it a versatile choice for any setup.
This blend of nostalgic design and modern functionality makes the 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard – Mecha Break Edition a must-have for those looking to blend the best of past and present in their typing experience. Whether you’re a collector or simply in love with the retro aesthetic, it’s a piece worth waiting for.
