A lost opportunity to not make the charging cable a coiled cable, IMHO, BTW.

All numpads and keyboard from 8bitDO are quite nice and affordable, I think. Honestly, the less attractive ones to me are the Model M inspired design. I mean, historical value apart, those are quite standard colors for "office" keyboards. I'd rather get something more flashy like C64 or NES-themed numpads. I'd happily even buy a keyboard but unfortunately they only come in the wrong ;) layout

They're USB C on the back. Bring your own artisan-made coiled cable, as desired. :ugeek:

Or even better: use the Bluetooth or supplied little dongle to avoid a cable outright.

Personally, they all look great! sure, m edition is lacking buckling springs, but they really nailed it on the colors.

i like the fact that they also come with extra ports for macropad/gamepad stuff.
