Amazing
Amazing keyboard. I love it. Very comfortable to write on, and it looks gorgeous. I wish it was a bit cheaper but honestly I’d still say it’s worth the price.

NOT UK / British layout.
WARNING – This is NOT a UK British keyboard layout, it’s a US keyboard.However, if you can get used to a US layout, the build quality and design is excellent.

Superbly pretty and built like a tank, but I do miss the numpad and there is no matching numpad available at this time. The base has no feet that can be raised to change the angle. The volume dial just spins around completely and is notched, making it a very poor input for setting the windows volume. I wish the keyboard had cable routing channels and compartments to tuck the cable of the big buttons away. And it would have been better if that cable was detachable and had a shorter variant included. I unexpectedly really like those big buttons, and I wish they were available for purchase separately in the same xbox colours.

This keyboard is awesome!!!!Nostalgic xbox vibes, pity the pads don’t light up but thats hardly worth mentioning.

Great mechanical keyboard the only real problem I have with it is it’s difficult to see the keys when it’s lit up since I’m used to other RGB keyboards where the letters light up that’s not a problem at all for me on it, nice clicky noise good battery life and I like the Xbox button on it

Iâll be the first to admit. I was HYPED when I say this for pre-order. But I waited to see what the reviews said before I bought it. I knew 8bitdo was a quality company from others but Iâve never owned a device from them. I also bought the halo edition Xbox ON RELEASE so I really wanted this thing to be good.The reviews were poor in the beginning. Most were about the software being trash and the rgb not working or being stuck on the brightest setting which washed out the letters making them unreadable. I felt this couldnât possibly be true and that there had to be something missing. So⦠going against the reviews I bought one. Here is my journey:Upon opening, this thing was built rock solid and sounds excellent although I had to get used to having a loud keyboard because Iâve had quiet keyboards for at least 20 years now. The box and cable were all high quality too.When I plugged it in, I had the issue where the rgb wouldnât work when following the directions. I had to go to the website to find the software because it wasnât really obvious. When I downloaded it, I still didnât have rgb. I believe I then went into windows settings for rgb control and it said I had to have firmware v1.5 to run it but my firmware was at 1.3. I am writing the all from memory two weeks later so the exact version may or may not be correct. After hitting update firmware, I was told 1.3 was the latest available. So I decided to give it a nights rest.Next day, I opened the software and 1.5 was available to update and once I did, everything worked as advertised!The rgb settings are great and allow lots of customization. The analog volume button is ok. It will go down many times when winding clockwise. The signal switcher is great when cabled. The Bluetooth works fine although it will lose connection sometime to my pc, but this may be on my end because itâs had some notorious Bluetooth problem. I havenât tested the 2.4ghz dongle but itâs been a reliable option over many years so I assume it works as expected.Hopefully this balances out the large number of negative reviews early on and helps others get a great keyboard.

Unique and nostalgic style, even the cables look like the one from the OG XBOX.The keys and switch are awesome, connectivity is good.Cables are long enough, battery life holds up.I still haven’t tried or use the software suite which seems to be the most downside to every other review, so keep it in mind when purchasing.But, on my end, out of the box experience is perfect.
