8BitDo’s latest retro mechanical keyboard is based on the Commodore 64 computer. It’s a tenkeyless layout with clicky white Kailh switches that are hot-swappable.

8BitDo’s latest mechanical keyboard riffs on the design of a 1980s computer with one of the most iconic-looking keyboards of all time: the Commodore 64. 8BitDo’s Commodore 64 edition of its Retro Mechanical Keyboard series is available to preorder starting today for $109.99, with plans to ship it on May 26th. Underneath its beautifully chunky brown keycaps and Commodore-style rainbow logo, this is basically the same peripheral as 8BitDo’s previous NES keyboard.

Returning from the NES keyboard are the programmable “Super Buttons,” which still look like the Nintendo Entertainment System controller’s A and B buttons. This time, they’re joined by a small joystick called the “Super Stick.” If the construction of this keyboard is the same as the last, expect both of these accessories to be wired and to plug into the top of the keyboard via 3.5mm jacks.
