Great for gaming
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.

Great 10 keyless keyboard with amazing asthetics.
great keyboard for your OG Xbox Themed PC setup! the only thing i wish was different, is the lettering on the keys was black or the keys were less see through. as its hard for me to see at times what key im looking at with the RGB lights on no matter the color or brightness, especially at certain angles or quick glances to make sure im on the right keys(mostly in gaming). so i just leave it off or use the mode that illuminates the key you just pressed. i like that you can use it as a true wired keyboard in the off mode, or 2.4 wireless. Bluetooth is a nice added connection option for those who would use it too. Clear plastics on electronics is making a comeback! and im here for it.

Awesome retro keyboard
Great keyboard, very retro and I love the Xbox theming. Switches are a bit loud, but feel wonderful. I have no use for the bigger accessory buttons the keyboard came with, but they were a cool addition. Looks great on my desk!

Nostalgic Keyboard for me
It's a nice keyboard, I can see why someone wouldn't like it because it's gimmicky, but it actually has some cool lighting settings and works well enough as far as I can tell, and has its own software, if you're an Xbox fan, it's worth the money in my opinion

Hardware is great, Software needs work.
The keyboard looks fantastic and feels amazing to type on. The key switches provide a satisfying tactile experience, and the build quality feels solid. While the keyboard has some heft to it, this only adds to its premium feel in my opinion. The RGB lighting is a great touch, offering various settings to customize the look to your preference. I also love the customizable buttons, which add a lot of flexibility. However, I’m still unsure about the oversized “Super Buttons” that come with it—I don’t see myself using them often, but I’ll give them a try when the right situation comes up. One aspect I wish were different is the layout. I’m used to having a numpad on the right side, so the shorter design is an adjustment for me. That said, I’m looking forward to getting used to it. Battery life is another highlight. It’s rechargeable and reportedly lasts a long time, which is a big plus. However, the software could use some improvements. The interface appears to be in Chinese (or another language), and some of the wording choices—like saying “SURE” instead of “YES”—gave me a good laugh. It’s functional, but I hope for better localization in future updates. Lastly, I wish the matching mouse had been bundled with the keyboard. I’m not used to spending so much on keyboards or a mouse but after getting it in my hands I am starting to see the value. I now have the mouse pre-ordered. Overall, I’m very happy with this keyboard and I’m glad I made the purchase. It’s a high-quality, stylish addition to my setup with only a few minor drawbacks.

Works with Mac!
Buy this keyboard. I got discouraged when everywhere I looked said that this would NOT work with Mac... It works great with Mac! Bluetooth recognized it immediately. Pecking away on the keys is a feeling I can only describe as what I would imagine giving a Stone Cold Stunner to Vince McMahon feels like. The clear green XBOX design is pure nostalgia. I haven't even messed with the key mapping. Apparently the software to customize won't work on Mac...who cares? Buy it.

I went with my gut and it paid off
I’ll be the first to admit. I was HYPED when I say this for pre-order. But I waited to see what the reviews said before I bought it. I knew 8bitdo was a quality company from others but I’ve never owned a device from them. I also bought the halo edition Xbox ON RELEASE so I really wanted this thing to be good. The reviews were poor in the beginning. Most were about the software being trash and the rgb not working or being stuck on the brightest setting which washed out the letters making them unreadable. I felt this couldn’t possibly be true and that there had to be something missing. So… going against the reviews I bought one. Here is my journey: Upon opening, this thing was built rock solid and sounds excellent although I had to get used to having a loud keyboard because I’ve had quiet keyboards for at least 20 years now. The box and cable were all high quality too. When I plugged it in, I had the issue where the rgb wouldn’t work when following the directions. I had to go to the website to find the software because it wasn’t really obvious. When I downloaded it, I still didn’t have rgb. I believe I then went into windows settings for rgb control and it said I had to have firmware v1.5 to run it but my firmware was at 1.3. I am writing the all from memory two weeks later so the exact version may or may not be correct. After hitting update firmware, I was told 1.3 was the latest available. So I decided to give it a nights rest. Next day, I opened the software and 1.5 was available to update and once I did, everything worked as advertised! The rgb settings are great and allow lots of customization. The analog volume button is ok. It will go down many times when winding clockwise. The signal switcher is great when cabled. The Bluetooth works fine although it will lose connection sometime to my pc, but this may be on my end because it’s had some notorious Bluetooth problem. I haven’t tested the 2.4ghz dongle but it’s been a reliable option over many years so I assume it works as expected. Hopefully this balances out the large number of negative reviews early on and helps others get a great keyboard.

Decent but highly priced for very little
Review: 3 stars The keyboard is very interesting. It's not every day that you spot a translucent green Xbox themed keyboard. The thing is, it's very expensive for what it is. There aren't many additional programmable keys. The two giant programmable button attachment is fun but completely unnecessary. The software is usable but really not that good. There are WAY better keyboards out there that are far more affordable, you just won't be getting the green Xbox design. Cons: - VERY expensive - Software is not the best - Lack of programmable buttons Pros: - Incredible design - Nice typing experience Personal opinion: Pros and cons aside, I strangely like this keyboard. I am really not sure if I will keep it due to its high price and lack of features. It does have a stunning design that is sure to captivate any Xbox fan though.
