8BitDo - Retro 108 Mechanical Keyboard Fami Edition

I got it for 65, extremely satisfied at that price, zero complaints, at this price I'd prefer to pay extra and get the tenkeyless + seperate numpad.

I actually swapped out my Tiger80 as my daily with this keyboard. Tiger80 obviously felt thicker, but this only really felt cheap bc of the switches. Swapped them out for some Feker x Matcha switches and its got a real nice feel to it. For reference I've used the Keychron K8, Ducky One 2, Tiger 80, Royal Kludge M75, and Koi61. I won't say this is the same or greater "quality" of these, but honestly its been my daily driver the longest. I think I was disappointed when I first took it out of the box, but the switch swap improved it big time. Great side feature is the wireless dongle. I have my PC hooked up to my TV for couch gaming so its super easy to toss the dongle in and play from the couch.

I have one and love it. I actually like how light it is, with the Bluetooth capability makes it easy to bring it onto the couch. I did get it for $60 though. Never tried Keychron. I have tried Kinesis gaming boards though.

I also low-key, LOVE the big red buttons it came with. I have them mapped to the left and right mouse button but the ability to map them to whatever I want is pretty cool. They're just so satisfying.

It's standard for a signal that is just on or off to use an aux jack like this. They're also just simply blue switches underneath the big red buttons. They are also hot swappable.

I have one. Full plastic. Sounds very hollow and cheap. Seriously consider how much you value quality keyboards before you drop almost $100 on a light plastic keyboard like this.

I got this last month in the $65 deal and swapped the stock switches to BSUN Maple Sugars and the keyboard sounds 100x better.

I have the separate numpad. Would have been much cheaper to do this, but as you said it didn't exist then. I overall do prefer this though. Nice to have the numpad .. I do remove it sometimes though, like when I'm using my hotas.

I have this. It’s a pleasure to use

I am an enormous fan of the Box White switches in these Retro keyboards (got the TKL on special) but the build quality/feel is still pretty meh. I thought the big macro buttons would be cool but they're kinda cheesy feeling, and the way they connect to the keyboard (1/8" audio jack) is also cheesy. My daily driver is a Keydous NJ80 with box whites and the 8bitDo doesn't quite cut it.

Over I year ago I've posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/1e3r64k/logitech_k860_ergo_but_mechanical/), since then my desire to have one ergo, sculpted mechanical keyboard for work and gaming has not weakened. Since then I have bought the Perixx PERIBOARD-835BR and returned it since I really didn't like the typing feeling. I'm not a kind of person who needs military grade alloy with quadruple gaskets to enjoy the keyboard (for my living room PC I use 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard and I love it), bu the Perix felt like a Fischer-Price children's toy to me. So my requirements are: Must have: 1. sculpted, not split (shaped as close to K860 as possible) 2. wireless with option to connect at least two devices, with support for both Windows and MacOS 3. mechanical, preferably hotswapable 4. negative tilt 5. built in or detachable wrist rest 6. obtainable in Europe Nice to have: 1. 75% or 80% layout, I need function keys for work. If the only option is 100% I can live with it 2. USB dongle for wireless connection 3. Aluminium housing I have two candidates on my list, but non of them is flawless: 1. [Feker Alice 75](https://fekertech.com/products/feker-alice75-qmk-via) \- it is not really sculpted that much, not really have negative tilt and also have read some complaints about software quality and MacOS support. Is anyone can confirm/deny those reports I would be grateful. Apart from that it looks exactly like what I'm looking for 2. [Leobog A75](https://leobogtech.com/collections/keyboards/products/leobog-a75) \- also not that much sculpted. no negative tilt and doesn't come with a wrist rest. It can be bought separately though. Are there any options on the marked that have flown under my radar? Should I just give Feker a chance? The issue with trying those two keyboards is that no European store has them, so eventual return my be expensive in terms of shipping, and will take ages to complete. I've also came across the [Neo Ergo ](https://monacokeys.de/en/products/neo-ergo-ergonomic-alice-layout-mechanical-keyboard-kit)which looks gorgeous, but it doesn't have the function keys row...

Fwiw theyre reliable and the switches are swapable. I got one of the commodore ones on sale and really like it.
