Me reading the headline: "🙄 Who isn't making a mechanical keyboard these days..."

Me after looking at the pictures: "I...might want that..."

At least the balanced the price of the mouse with how terrible it would be to use as a daily driver.

I need qmk support. I don't like dealing with other software anymore for remapping keyboards.

[-] six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com 18 points 2 years ago

I don't need another mechanical keyboard, but I do need a Nintendo themed one with massive buttons I can program.

Ordered....

[-] motorheadkusanagi@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Huge firefox button, huge terminal button.

[-] emptyother@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

We need only two buttons, 1 and 0. A bit slow to write on though.

[-] nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

In fact, forget the keyboard.

They really make good stuff. I have their SN30 pro wireless retro gamepad and it's awesome.

[-] applecore@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I have their SN30 pro wireless retro game pad and it IS awesome. To the point where I don’t want to share it when friends come over

[-] Upvotes_Kills_Birds@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

time to get another. The new translucent green and purple look FIREEE

[-] sixtyshilling@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I love 8BitDo’s products, but I really have no idea what use case those giant buttons are attempting to cater to.

They aren’t good for gaming, and are way too limited when compared to multi-button Stream Decks.

I understand they are detachable, but they just look like e-waste to me.

Looks like a novelty gimmick e.g., have a scripted sequence for starting a build.

In the past I've seen people having these type of buttons on their desktop and are mostly motivated by a joke that worked for a couple of days.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I have a large button on my desk that sets all the lights to red and turns on some sexy music.

I have never used it.

[-] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

That's a missed opportunity to set it for general quarters or some very sexy action stations.

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They are hot keys one is for pornhub the other is for lemmy

[-] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I'm just pissed I didn't think of this myself as a custom keyboard layout. Guess I would have then been pissed that someone else commercialized my concept.
Looks like I need an attitude adjustment.

[-] TheBest@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Ive seen a few others try to stylize their keyboards like the NES, but im happy this is going to be a widely accessible product.

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

I don't need it I don't need it I don't need it

Here, I saved you a click: the keyboard literally screams every time you press a key

[-] Buttons@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Does it just scream a generic scream, like someone getting murdered, or does it scream "80s NES" as claimed?

[-] gothicdecadence@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

bitcrushed wilhelm scream

[-] Alivrah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

But does it change the pitch of the screams or is it the same every time?

[-] Upvotes_Kills_Birds@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I'm a pretty big fan on 8bitdo. I have several wired and wireless pads from them. Something about it just clicks for me, and their new translucent models are just awesome.

I've been on the edge of buying a mechanical keyboard for months, ya know, doing the dance of having one or three in cart, ready to go. But this actually made me pull the trigger and do the pre order. A sin in gaming I know, but this is so fucking cool from a brand thats been consistently quality for me, its a no brainer.

I wanted something with Bluetooth, dongle, and wired USB C. Check.

I wanted a volume knob. Make or break feature for me. I just like the tactile feeling of a knob, so check.

Also it comes with one of the big dual button macro button controllers! Neat!

Kinda reads shilly. Im just excited.

You must be a Cherry MX Blue fan

No Linux or MacOS support? Presumably that means just for their software and it will still present as a normal keyboard, so will still technically work?

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

No super or compose key, pass...

I doubt they do Scandinavian layouts?

I would love a modern C64-themed keyboard myself.

[-] timkenhan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Does it have to be wireless, tho....
