Retro gaming is all the rage these days, especially for those who grew up in the ’80s. Although you can experience gaming from a bygone era with arcade cabinets — with the likes of Pac-Man, Golden Axe, Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man — you can also play in the style of retro gaming with a keyboard that was inspired by classic computers.
Enter the 8BitDo Retro Keyboard, a mechanical and customizable gaming keyboard that makes it feel like you are playing modern PC games, but with early ’80s hardware. Right now, the C64 Edition (Commodore 64) is priced at $109.99.
