8BITDO Retro 18 Mechanical NUMPAD - M Edition

8BitDo has produced a phenomenal keypad! Super fast connection, Bluetooth connects super easy and the numbers project flawless. The keypad is aesthetically pleasing to look at it, it captures the retro vibe perfectly. It also has a calculator mode. Now I wasn't sold on the idea at first but wow has it come in handy!! Super easy to toggle on and off. Has a bright red button for it. And for the most important question? How does it sound?? Sounds are like 1980s arcade machine. You can not go wrong with this keypad, 1000 percent recommend it.

I don't own the keyboard that goes with it. Did I need this? No. Will I even get much use out of it? Probably not. Was this an impulse purchase? Absolutely. And yet I kinda love it? The keys are tactile, the text is bright and legible, every switch and button feels high quality. The bluetooth, attached dongle, and USB-C port mean it works with basically anything. As a stand alone calculator it's going to be accurate and comfortable if you ever need to do a lot of math for any kind of paperwork, and as a numpad for your PC it's excellent. The only thing that feels like kind of a flaw is the button to open the calculator app on your PC where a numlock button would have made way more sense in my opinion. But there is a hotkey method to activate numlock (hold CAL and press C) and you can rebind the calculator input in your OS to something more useful so even that isn't a hard flaw. All in all, if a chunky retro style calculator sounds like something that would tickle your interests or you just need a solid numpad for your PC or to go with the 8bitdo keyboard I think this thing is excellent. I don't regret buying it.

No complaints. It's well-built, the switches feel good, it matches the keyboard, and the 2.4ghz connection is really fast and reliable. It's nice that it also works as a calculator.

Awesome numpad, yes its pricey but worth it. Got the matching keyboard for Christmas so this was the matching numpad. Great retro design, yes the keys are loud, which makes it super cool. You're able to use it as a numpad, has a shortcut button to activate the laptop computer and the best feature was the capability of using it as an actual calculator with a light up display.

I use this keypad frequently for data input and it works amazing. Very fast. No issues whatsoever. I'd buy it again or anything from this company without thinking about it. The quality feels as good as my high end keyboards($200+). The switches have a nice feel. Battery life seems great, I haven't charged it in the two weeks I've owned it with heavy use. I was not familiar with this brand but now I am and looking at other products.

If you're getting it for bragging rights or showing off the mancave, it's cool. If for functionality, it works as expected except the keys don't allow it for quick data entry without retraining your fingers/brain. Also, there is a magnetic side where it sticks to the c64 keyboard but feels clunky. In retrospect I should have bought the mouse instead for function. But what can I say, it acts as both a functional numpad and stand-alone calculator.

8-bit do retro keyboard review: I own the 8BitDo NES theme retro keyboard with B/A super buttons, as well as the similarlt-themed Retro Numpad. I've had them for a couple months now. I also own the Super Stick, which I just got today. Base score: 5 STARS. Here's my breakdown: Responsiveness: I love clicky keyboards. I understand not everyone does, but keeping that in mind, this is one of the most fluid keyboards I've ever used, and one of the nicest-sounding (*click click click!*) Ease of use: The USB Dongles are plug and play, but the keyboard and numpad both come with usb wires to charge/ use wired. The buttons to turn on and off the 2.4GHz wireless is seamless with no noticeable drop in regular use. Note that I didn't play a game with trigger controls and swap the connection style though, so I can't comment on that. Aesthetic: This thing is beautiful. It looks like a classic NES peripheral with its theme and it looks like it's straight out of the 80s. I love it. It's a little pricey (my setup all told was around $175 for the keyboard, numpad, and joystick), but that's roughly on par with other gaming keyboards, so its not so bad. The Good: Great sound, great aesthetic, great response time and connection type switching (a known benefit of 8BitDo). It's also solidly built and looks premium. The numpad doubles as an adding machine; niche, but neat. The keyboard also has two dedicated programmable buttons aside from the super buttons, which is good for those of you who like macros set up. The Bad: Sometimes the clackyness of the super buttons can cause simultaneous inputs to not fire just right, but this is manageable. It also has no backlight, which is a shame. For the price of the keyboard and numpad, I wish they would have made the button labels translucent and installed a stock backlight. makes gaming or computing in the dark impossible. The super stick is nice feeling, but if you're a heavy masher of buttons, the actual joystick (which is meant to disconnect for ease of shipping) falls off a lot. The mildly annoying: The numpad is set up as an adding machine, so if you're used to the computer numpad, you have to re-train yourself. This is offset by the fact that the numpad can be used as a stand-alone adding machine, so IO understand why this was done. Also, my whole setup, aside from the super stick uses the NES theme, but I couldn't get the super stick in that same color theme. 8BitDo, fix this; your stick is only $15, if I need t0 pay an extra couple $ for a license to use the NES color scheme, I would have done it. Lastly, it's a little pricey, so unless you're an 8BitDo diehard, have a retro itch you need to scratch, or are looking for a new gaming keyboard, this is a luxury buy you don't need to get to replace a working gaming keyboard. I don't regret my purchase by any means, but I didn't *need* it. The Awesome:8mm jacks for button input? Genius. This makes those inputs usable for ANY switch-based button. To prove a point, I used an old X-Arcade coin-op setup (which is a coin receptacle connected to a switch), connected an off-the-shelf 8mm plug, and plugged it into one of the 4 connectors that comes with the retro keyboard and boom, instant coin op! Also, the components will connect to each other via magnets! I just found this out. It never occurred to me why my keyboard and numpad always stood together despite me dragging the setup all over my desk. It works with the super buttons too! Also, the batteries in these things are downright epic. I use my computer 3-4 days a week and the numpad (the keyboard was plugged in most of the time out of habit) went from 100% to 95% after 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS! This is another staple of 8BitDo- insane battery life. Overall: Worth the price of admission, if not for the aesthetic alone, for the versatility, wireless capabilities, and battery life. Are you looking for a signature look for your keyboard setup? do you want to have arcade buttons on your desktop, do you want the best wireless options and battery life you've ever experienced in a peripheral? Get this.

Me encanta,como calculadora vintage esta guapísima y ese tacto… me flipa

Curioso, muy curioso y atractivo, tener un teclado numérico mecánico, al más puro estilo retro al que nos tienen acostumbrados desde 8bitdo. Tal cuál sucede con el teclado mecánico del mismo estilo, sorprende desde que lo desembalas. El tacto es perfecto, los acabados premium y de una sutileza increíble. Funciona tanto por BT como con 2.4GHz gracias a su adaptador USB. Y lo más curioso, es que funciona tanto conectado al PC, como independientemente, como calculadora retro... Simplemente increíble! Indispensable si te pillas el teclado del mismo estilo pero en formato corto. Me encanta! Altamente recomendable, sin duda alguna.

Initially purchased because I replaced my keyboard with one without a keypad and now absolutely love this one. Battery life has been incredible, only needed to charge it once since purchasing. It's got a great tactile feel to the keys and the fact it can be used as a standalone calculator by toggling the power and pressing a single key is great. The standalone calculator isn't going to blow you away for complex functions (your phone will do a better job than that for sure), but for the retro feel you really cannot go wrong. The fact is is USB-C for charging too is a real bonus.

打鍵感も打ちやすくてものすごく気に入っていますが、やっぱりファミリーコンピューターみたいなこのレトロ感がGoodでした！

Indispensabile, insieme alla mia tastiera 60%
