87 keys, volume knob, hot-swappable PCB, Dual Super Buttons (two massive programmable A and B buttons) and it looks amazing.

Why isn’t there a numpad? That’s pretty disappointing, honestly… I play a lot of games that make use of that.
I also find entering numbers on a numpad to be much easier and feel more natural, probably because of growing up with calculators. They definitely have a place on modern keyboards.
Agreed, as cool as this looks, anything without a numpad is a no go for me - I use it daily
Yeah, last year I finally dipped my toes in mechanical keyboarding and my 2 requirements were to have a numpad and some media keys for volume and play/pause. It was actually kinda a nightmare to find.
Yep. Took me forever and I never found one I was completely satisfied with.
I’m rocking the GMMK Pro with the KBD Pad MK II
I eventually found a red dragon keyboard that I’m fairly happy with. I bought some custom key caps because the ones that it came with were Ugly.
It has a volume scroll wheel thing that’s pretty cool. Some macro programming stuff that idk what anyone really needs.
10-keyless keyboards are (kinda unfortunately IMO) popular with the custom keyboard crowd. I’m actually a little surprised that it’s not available in an even smaller form-factor.
Really, this would have been an instant buy from me if it had a numpad. Kinda doesn’t make sense that a retro themed keyboard wouldn’t have it! I love everything about the design otherwise.
These look great! They’re doing a lot of cool stuff lately. Now give me a translucent N64 version.
This is interesting, I wonder if they will ever do one based on older IBM type keyboards. I loved those.
The market for IBM Model M keyboard clones is already pretty full.
Cool, but I like 8Bitdo products, and they mainly handle controllers. It will be interesting to me to watch if they go that route.
I do need a new keyboard…
Shouldn’t this be a membrane keyboard instead of mechanical to REALLY get that NES feel?
It’s a neat curiosity, but it’s not $100 neat

Pretty cool looking, but I’d need to know how sturdy it felt and what the keys were like before buying it. As a novelty alone I don’t think it is worth it, but if it is also a good keyboard then I might even get one.
Tiny nitpick: why abbreviate some keys but not others?
INSERT DELETE
PGUP PGDN
Why not either INS | DEL or something like

If they want to make a retro-styled keyboard they should make one without the “Windows” and “Menu” keys so that you can play Commander Keen and Duke Nukum the way they were meant to be played.
