Sure, these accessories may look nothing like the original Xbox prototype, but both the 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard and R8 Mouse Xbox Edition do pay tribute to the first-generation console. At $119.99 and $59.99 respectively, both peripherals are plug-and-play, seamlessly blending retro aesthetics with modern functionality.
First up, the 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard features an RGB backlight with 8 light modes, Kailh Jellyfish X switches with a hot-swappable PCB double-layered ABS keycaps sporting matte UV coating, and a 2,000mAh battery. Should the battery be fully drained, the keyboard can also be connected via USB-C. Next, the Retro R8 Mouse boasts a PAW 3395 sensor, Kailh Sword GM X micro switches engineered for up to 100 million clicks, and a charging dock that doubles as signal extension. Both will be available on January 16, 2025.
