This ridiculously cool Xbox-themed retro keyboard just hit its lowest ever price at a nice $69
The 8Bitdo Retro Keyboard is a stunner for PC gamers with a love for the OG Xbox, and it's never been this cheap.
I know it’s felt like the entirety of December has been one long, exhausting sale (well, since November if I'm being real), but this is a genuine deal to get us over the Betwixmas slump. If you’ve been staring at your desk, wondering how to spend the money your family stuffed in a card, I’ve found this absolute gem on the online bargain bin that is Woot.
The 8Bitdo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard has dropped to a nice $69.99, which is quite the plummet in price from its MSRP of $119.99. So, 40% off a slice of old Xbox nostalgia, but for PC gamers.
Relive classic Xbox titles on PC with the Xbox Edition of the Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard. This device is compatible with Windows 10/11, features RGB backlights with 8 light modes, an integrated Xbox Home button to bring up the Xbox Game bar, and more.
Nostalgic fans and collectors who want that translucent-green look



Woot is basically an Amazon outlet, so if you have Prime, you'll get free delivery on this too, but their deals tend to go out of stock quickly (sometimes frustratingly, as I've been writing them!)This is an official Xbox-licensed peripheral inspired by the iconic, radioactive-green transparent plastic of the 2004 Original Xbox Special Edition. It captures that Y2K aesthetic perfectly when we were all obsessed with transparent tech.
Some of us are still obsessed with Xbox, and despite knowing this, Xbox hasn't released its own accessories in this amazing green yet (maybe this year, being the 25th anniversary, will be the year!)
Under the hood, the board features Kailh Jellyfish X linear switches for a smooth, consistent feel. They are also hot-swappable for those who want to switch them out for something more to their needs. The kit includes two massive, programmable Super Buttons that would look at home in a retro arcade. If you fancy going for an all-green set-up, the matching mouse is also on sale but over on Amazon for $49.99.
From the ABXY-inspired arrow keys to the dedicated Xbox Home button, every detail makes it feel like a genuine Xbox ecosystem piece, even if it's from a third party. The only catch is that this won't be compatible with your actual Xbox. This is strictly for Windows PCs or Android devices.

What devices is the Retro 87 keyboard compatible with?
Windows and Android. You can toggle between Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless using the built-in dial.
Does it have a number pad?
No, this is an 87-key (TKL) layout. By removing the Numpad, it maintains a smaller footprint, leaving more room on your desk for your mouse or those massive Super Buttons.
Are there matching accessories?
Yes! To complete the look, 8BitDo also offers a matching mouse and a hall effect controller in the same iconic transparent green.
