    I’m a pretty big fan on 8bitdo. I have several wired and wireless pads from them. Something about it just clicks for me, and their new translucent models are just awesome.

    I’ve been on the edge of buying a mechanical keyboard for months, ya know, doing the dance of having one or three in cart, ready to go. But this actually made me pull the trigger and do the pre order. A sin in gaming I know, but this is so fucking cool from a brand thats been consistently quality for me, its a no brainer.

    I wanted something with Bluetooth, dongle, and wired USB C. Check.

    I wanted a volume knob. Make or break feature for me. I just like the tactile feeling of a knob, so check.

    Also it comes with one of the big dual button macro button controllers! Neat!

    Kinda reads shilly. Im just excited. (reposted from my Kbin profile, just want more discussion!)

      It looks pretty cool, but why is it missing a numpad? That’s kind of a big deal, even for people who just want to play games.

      E. g. Caves of Qud is designed to move with num keys. And playing a fighting game on keyboard is way better with them too.
