87 keys, volume knob, hot-swappable PCB, Dual Super Buttons (two massive programmable A and B buttons) and it looks amazing.

Why isn’t there a numpad? That’s pretty disappointing, honestly… I play a lot of games that make use of that.
I also find entering numbers on a numpad to be much easier and feel more natural, probably because of growing up with calculators. They definitely have a place on modern keyboards.
Agreed, as cool as this looks, anything without a numpad is a no go for me - I use it daily
Yeah, last year I finally dipped my toes in mechanical keyboarding and my 2 requirements were to have a numpad and some media keys for volume and play/pause. It was actually kinda a nightmare to find.
Yep. Took me forever and I never found one I was completely satisfied with.
I’m rocking the GMMK Pro with the KBD Pad MK II
I eventually found a red dragon keyboard that I’m fairly happy with. I bought some custom key caps because the ones that it came with were Ugly.
It has a volume scroll wheel thing that’s pretty cool. Some macro programming stuff that idk what anyone really needs.
10-keyless keyboards are (kinda unfortunately IMO) popular with the custom keyboard crowd. I’m actually a little surprised that it’s not available in an even smaller form-factor.
Really, this would have been an instant buy from me if it had a numpad. Kinda doesn’t make sense that a retro themed keyboard wouldn’t have it! I love everything about the design otherwise.
These look great! They’re doing a lot of cool stuff lately. Now give me a translucent N64 version.
This is interesting, I wonder if they will ever do one based on older IBM type keyboards. I loved those.
The market for IBM Model M keyboard clones is already pretty full.
Cool, but I like 8Bitdo products, and they mainly handle controllers. It will be interesting to me to watch if they go that route.
I do need a new keyboard…
Shouldn’t this be a membrane keyboard instead of mechanical to REALLY get that NES feel?
It’s a neat curiosity, but it’s not $100 neat

Tiny nitpick: why abbreviate some keys but not others?

Why not either INS | DEL or something like

If they want to make a retro-styled keyboard they should make one without the “Windows” and “Menu” keys so that you can play Commander Keen and Duke Nukum the way they were meant to be played.
Pretty cool looking, but I’d need to know how sturdy it felt and what the keys were like before buying it. As a novelty alone I don’t think it is worth it, but if it is also a good keyboard then I might even get one.
