Thanks to the Chinese portal IT Tome, users learned that 8BitDo decided to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nintendo 64 gaming console. It announced a new retro-mechanical keyboard in “Water Blue” color and a wireless Ultimate 2 controller for PC.
The design is inspired by the iconic transparent blue N64 case and “preserves the shared gaming memories of countless players.” The 8BitDo retro-mechanical keyboard has a TKL layout (it lacks the right numeric keypad — Numpad), supports three connection modes, and is equipped with programmable super keys.
The “Aqua Blue” version is priced at 529 Chinese yuan (5836 rubles). The 8BitDo Orion Ultimate 2 wireless PC gamepad features TMR sensor sticks, dual trigger switches, a built-in six-axis gyroscope, additional bumpers, and comes with a charging dock with an automatic on/off function.
The “Aqua Blue” variant costs 269 Chinese yuan (2968 rubles).
