The 8bitdo keyboard has been pretty well-received as a ~$100 wireless keyboard with ABS keycaps. I love the way this C64 color scheme looks.

I have an 8bitdo arcade stick, which looks like it uses the same knob as this keyboard for selecting the wireless mode. I love the way it feels every time I turn it on.

Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn’t use QMK – it uses their own mapping software, which is Windows only. This makes it a non-starter for me, since I rarely use a Windows computer these days. But I just might have to copy that color scheme for my next build.

    Shoot, I’d take that over booting up my burner for this. It would be cool if it worked inside Wine at least. Actually, if we’re doing drathers, I’d rather it be native to Linux (even as an appimage or snap).
