8BitDo
is
now
selling
a
set
of
keycaps
featuring
the
same
Nintendo
Entertainment
System
(NES)
inspired
design
as
those
used
on
the
Retro
Mechanical
Keyboard
it
debuted
last
July.
While
the
keyboard
is
now
available
in
four
styles
including
Commodore
64
and
Famicom
designs,
only
the
NES
style
keycaps
are
currently
available
on
their
own.
The
$49.99
8BitDo
Retro
Keycaps
set
includes
165
PBT
keys
with
legends
printed
using
dye-sublimation
for
added
durability.
The
expanded
set
allows
the
keys
to
be
used
on
larger
keyboards
with
a
dedicated
number
pad.
8BitDo’s
$99.99
mechanical
keyboards
are
only
available
in
a
shorter
tenkeyless
layout.
The
set
can
be
used
on
keyboards
featuring
as
small
as
a
65
percent
layout.Image:

The
set
features
alternate
designs
for
some
keys
like
a
spacebar
with
an
added
health
meter
in
two
different
lengths,
and
both
the
American
ANSI
and
international
ISO
versions
of
others,
like
an
Enter
key
with
an
inverted
L
design,
and
a
smaller
Shift
key.
8BitDo
says
the
set
supports
65,
75,
80,
95,
and
100-percent
layouts,
as
well
as
ergonomic
split
keyboards,
but
compatibility
is
limited
to
MX-style
switches.

If
you
want
to
stick
with
a
compact
tenkeyless
layout
but
feel
you’ll
still
be
missing
a
dedicated
number
pad,
8BitDo’s
$44.99
wireless
mechanical
numpad
doubles
as
a
desktop
calculator
and
is
available
with
matching
NES
theming.
