Pretty and performant
This keyboard matches the equivalent mouse perfectly, and looks great on the desk. The keys are nicely spaced and the gradient is super smooth as you move up the rows. Key presses are a great weight and mistyping is very rare unless its through lack of touch typing skill (which I lack in highly!) The switches are clicky but much quieter than your average blue, I have no issues with keypresses coming through over microphones in calls and find the typing to be very enjoyable and non-tiring. Gaming on this is also a treat, it feels super responsive and 'just so'. It's a shame they don't do this in ISO-UK layout but i found switching over to be totally instinctual and haven't lost any functionality (you can use Windows built in keyboard mapper if you need to mix the US layout with some added UK symbols, but I found leaving my PC in UK mode and just adjusting my muscle memory to work perfectly, but I don't use many backslashes) RGB is very customisable and shines through with a nice tint, although you can still tweak colours to get the exact one you're after. I haven't used the super buttons much but they do feel satisfying to press and no doubt would make great macro keys for stuff you use regularly. The XBOX button also works perfectly for bringing up the overlay and it's overall a great experience. Bluetooth works well with no noticeable latency and they 2.4ghz mode with receiver works perfectly, and it wakes up and connects almost instantly. It comes with a lovely matching clear green cable to connect wired or charge it, but you won't need it much as you get weeks of battery life with regular use, even with the rgb lights enabled. Highly recommended if you like the aesthetic and dont mind ANSI layout

Gorgeous keyboard and satisfying typing experience with powerful macros
This is a gorgeous keyboard that's themed after the original Xbox and I love it! For the price I am very impressed with the quality and the attention that has gone into making this. The case is fully translucent plastic and has a cool frosted effect that looks awesome when the LEDs shine through (check video). Clicky keys but they're hot swappable if you prefer something else. Configuring the macros is super easy and requires no additional software but their software is pretty good too if you use it. I do wish the provided giant buttons also had LEDs and it would be great if you could buy more but it seems 8bitdo do not sell them separately which is a shame. I personally need a wrist rest for this keyboard but YMMV. I've got the matching mouse too but that's a separate purchase

Great build quality - Super cool & Retro
Really happy with Keyboard. As to be expected, this is US layout only. As other reviews mention, it is hard to read the key letters in a dim room while the backlights are on. It is also a relativley deep keyboard so don't expect for it to fit in a standard 75% keyboard case.

If you think you might like it, you will definitely like it
Fire keyboard, third 8bitdo product and they haven’t let me down, quality is Amazing it’s sturdy and the keys are clicky. Fast response times. Fully customisable rgb settings. Fully custom mapping using the 8bitdo ultimate software app which is super user friendly and is useful for most of their products.

⌨️ Illegible Keys ⌨️
📦 Item Returned. ❌ This keyboard looked good in theory, but in practice falls short due to the inability to read the keys when the back-light is on. ❌ The keys are translucent with painted symbols, & these symbols are over the tubes beneath that attach to the switches. When illuminated you can only see the tubes, & not the symbols. ❌ You will need to buy new shine-through key-caps if you want to be able to use it in the dark. ❌ Additionally the PC customisation software runs in Chinese. ❌ ANSI (USA) keyboard layout only. ✅ Good build quality.

Aesthetically pleasing
Love it. Exactly as id expected from 8bitdo. Good quality build, really pleasing design. It's quite a loud, sharp and clacky keyboard soake sure that's what you're going for.

Design molto bello ma se si è abituati o si vuole una tastiera da gaming più reattiva e silenziosa la sconsiglio. Il travel o detto distanza di attuazione dei tasti è un po lunga essendo una tastiera meccanica e il click sono eccessivamente rimorsi tanto da sentirli mentre si indossano cuffie. Se questi fatti riscontrati da me non danno fastidio allora la consiglio per il sopratutto per la qualità prezzo ottima

Very nice quality keyboard with an awesome design. Pairs nicely with the xbox themed mouse. Can be connected via Bluetooth or wired as well as some nice lighting features that are customizable. Does not have a numberic keypad which is a bit sad, but I can live without. Very clicky buttons.
