If you're in the market for a new gaming keyboard, 8BitDo's retro-inspired keyboards offer stellar performance for a reasonable price. 8BitDo's Fami Edition keyboard has a color scheme that pays homage to the Nintendo Famicom, responsive switches, multiple wireless connectivity options, and great customization features. Right now, you can purchase this 8BitDo keyboard for only $80 at Woot. This matches the best price we've seen at any retailer. The Fami edition is available at Amazon for $85. Alternatively, you can snag the NES-inspired model for $83.69 at Amazon. These are the best prices yet at Amazon. And just like other 8BitDo products, you're getting a whole lot of value for the price--it's a fantastic keyboard.

8BitDo has a new keyboard releasing on May 28. The new model pays homage to the Commodore 64 and comes with a detachable arcade stick.

A standout feature of the keyboard is its Dual Super Buttons. These are found on a separate gamepad and are essentially two additional programmable keys. Best of all, you can quickly map different functions to the buttons without the need for software.

Aside from the external Dual Super Buttons, the keyboard also uses A and B buttons near the spacebar, which can also be programmed for additional functionality. We've gone hands-on with the keyboard to test out all these features and found it to be a superb product. Not only is it responsive and durable, but it looks great in the home office. Even at the $100 price point, the keyboard is an awesome choice, so this $80 offer is a steal.
