8BitDo launches Forest Wonder keyboard and mouse
The woodland-themed devices have suggested prices of $120 for the keyboard and $60 for the mouse, with worldwide shipping through 8BitDo’s store.
8BitDo has introduced two Forest Wonder gaming peripherals: the Retro 87 mechanical keyboard and Retro R8 Mouse. Both feature woodland imagery rendered in pixel art and are available separately through Amazon and the manufacturer’s online store. The range supports Windows, Android and Xbox systems.
The keyboard has 87 keys, eight RGB lighting modes and PBT keycaps made using dye sublimation. Its Core Green Tactile switches were developed with Kailh. Connection options include a 2.4GHz dongle, Bluetooth LE 5.3 and a wired USB connection.
An officially licensed Xbox product, the keyboard includes an Xbox button set to open Microsoft’s Game Bar on Windows. An onboard panel manages connections, while two programmable Super Buttons can be configured without external software. Additional customization is available through 8BitDo Ultimate Software.
The mouse comes with a charging dock that also stores its 2.4GHz dongle and can extend wireless range. It supports wired USB operation as well as wireless use. Its PAW 3395 sensor offers six sensitivity settings spanning 50 to 26,000 DPI, and its maximum polling rate is 8,000Hz. Huano switches are rated for up to 100 million clicks, while four side buttons can be customized using 8BitDo’s software.
