If the sight of translucent blue plastic immediately transports you back to the glorious days of Mario 64, GoldenEye 007, Mario Kart 64, and arguing over who got the good controller, 8BitDo has something for you.
To celebrate 30 years of N64 gaming, 8BitDo has given its Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard an appropriately nostalgic makeover, inspired by the console’s iconic Ice Blue color. And yes, it looks like something that should be sitting next to a CRT television while you desperately try to unlock everything in GoldenEye.
The 87-key keyboard features RGB backlighting, hot-swappable mechanical switches, N-key rollover, and triple-mode connectivity via Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, or USB-C. The transparent keycaps really complete the retro aesthetic, while the two enormous programmable Super Buttons on the side are basically begging to be assigned to something ridiculous.
And because apparently one piece of Ice Blue nostalgia isn’t enough, there’s also a matching 8BitDo Ultimate 2 wireless controller.
The controller comes loaded with modern hardware, including TMR joysticks, Hall Effect triggers, a 1000Hz polling rate, RGB lighting, back paddles, extra bumpers, motion controls, turbo, rumble, and 8BitDo’s low-latency 8Speed wireless connection.
So basically, you can recreate the look of 1996 while enjoying the technology of 2026.
Now all we need is a matching translucent blue CRT, a copy of GoldenEye, four friends, and approximately 14 hours of free time.
