I can't get enough of this retro hot-swappable keyboard - and it's never been cheaper

The 8BitDo retro hot-swappable keyboard caught my attention just before the holidays, and it's since been a staple in my rotation. At $99, this NES / Famicom styled device was already well priced - especially considering the hot-swappable switches and additional programmable A / B buttons. 

However, Woot! has an even better offer for us today, dropping the Famicom styled TKL deck down to just $79.99 for $20 off. That's a fantastic price just for a TKL hot-swappable deck, let alone one themed around a retro fan's burgundy daydream. While it's got a different paintjob to the NES themed clicker I've been slaving over between gaming keyboard reviews, this edition has only ever hit $85 in past sales - and that was only for a couple of days earlier in the month. 

For reference, you'll usually pay around $200 for a hot-swappable keyboard from KeyChron or about $150 for a Ducky model. While the overall build quality isn't as high as these premium options, $79.99 is still fantastic value for money. If you're keen to take your first steps into the world of custom decks, this is an excellent opportunity to dip your toes for far less than usual - regardless of nostalgia.

I've been using the NES version of the 8BitDo retro keyboard on and off for a few months now, and while it's not the slickest deck out there I'm ok with that. The chunkier plastic chassis and larger keycaps are all in keeping with that retro
