This ridiculously cool Xbox-themed retro keyboard just hit its lowest ever price at a nice $69

December has felt like a never-ending sale season, and if you’re looking for something to brighten the post-Christmas lull, I’ve found a great deal. If you’re wondering what to do with gift money, check out this fantastic find on Woot!

The 8Bitdo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard is currently on sale for $69.99 – a significant discount from its original price of $119.99. That’s 40

Nostalgic fans and collectors who want that translucent-green look

Woot is similar to an Amazon outlet store, meaning Prime members get free shipping. However, their deals often sell out fast – I’ve even experienced it while writing about them! This product is an officially licensed Xbox accessory designed to look like the classic, green transparent plastic from the original Xbox Special Edition released in 2004. It really captures that early 2000s look when everyone loved see-through technology.

A lot of Xbox fans are still really into the console, and surprisingly, Xbox hasn’t released many accessories in its signature green color. Hopefully, with the 25th anniversary this year, we’ll finally see some!

This keyboard feels incredibly smooth thanks to its Kailh Jellyfish X linear switches. You can even easily swap these switches out if you prefer a different feel. It also comes with two large, customizable buttons that give it a classic arcade vibe. If you’re looking for a complete green setup, a matching mouse is available on Amazon for $49.99.

With design elements like the ABXY buttons on the directional pad and a dedicated Xbox Home button, this feels just like an official Xbox controller, even though it’s made by a different company. Just keep in mind it only works with Windows PCs or Android devices – you won’t be able to use it with an Xbox console.

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?

This keyboard has 87 keys and a compact design (TKL). Removing the number pad frees up space on your desk for things like your mouse or larger buttons.

Are there matching accessories?

To go with the controller, 8BitDo also makes a matching mouse and a controller with hall effect technology, all in that same cool, see-through green color.
