This TKL powerhouse weighs in at a hefty 1470g, giving you that premium, tank-like build quality that screams "I'm built to last through countless gaming marathons."
What makes this keyboard special is the incredible battery life - we're talking 280 hours on 2.4GHz and 300 hours on Bluetooth LE 5.0, powered by a massive 4000mAh Li-ion battery. That means you can game wirelessly for literally weeks without worrying about charging. The dual wireless connectivity gives you flexibility between low-latency 2.4GHz for competitive gaming and Bluetooth for multi-device setups.
The Kailh Glaze Jellyfish Pro linear switches deliver that buttery-smooth gaming experience, while the double-layered ABS keycaps are built to handle years of intense use. The retro-inspired "Mecha BREAK" design brings that classic aesthetic with modern performance, and the per-key RGB lighting lets you create stunning visual setups through 8BitDo's Ultimate Software V2. Compatible with both Windows and Android, this keyboard perfectly captures 8BitDo's philosophy of blending nostalgic design with cutting-edge gaming tech. If you want a keyboard that looks like it belongs in a retro mech anime but performs like a modern gaming beast, the Retro 87 delivers that perfect fusion.
