Right now, Woot has a massive $50 off the 8BitDo Retro 87 mechanical keyboard, meaning it’s down to just $70. This thing is gorgeous, and it’s also got plenty of features which make it great to use as well. The deal is only on until Friday though, so grab it quickly if you want it.
It’s compatible with Windows 10 and Android 9.0 or later, but it’s meant to bring the nostalgic vibe to your office space, as it is not meant for Xbox consoles. In addition to its bold, transparent green design inspired by the original Xbox console, this keyboard has 87 keys, and you’ll appreciate the Kailh Jellyfish X switches.
