One other model that is extra consistent with the North American NES is also on sale for $90.

That classic styling is the primary enchantment right here, however the keyboard itself is completely strong.

It might join over Bluetooth, a 2.4GHz wi-fi dongle or a removable USB-C cable, plus it comes with a enjoyable pair of macro-programmable “Tremendous Buttons” that resemble a jumbo NES pad. The primary detrimental is that it is solely obtainable with one change kind (the clicky Kailh Field White V2), which is usually comfy however makes a higher-pitched sound that will not be nice to everybody.
