Had these on pre-ordered since 8bitdo announced them because I can't resist translucent electronics. Very much enjoying it over my old Keychron K4, although I am already missing my numpad.

The Xbox button actually opens the game bar in Windows, which is a cute touch.

I have the same wood wrist support. Also, I love the Dwarf Fortress mat!

It was cheap but effective! Also thanks, always nice to find another DF fan.

I saw this and thought to myself, "This keyboard reminds me of the old Xbox controller!"

Then I looked closer and saw the Xbox logo.

Ha, yeah it is indeed officially licensed. Imo one of the cooler things they done with the license.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Just the vibe I got from it

Pretty good! Uses Kailh Jellyfish X switches, which are new to me. The other one of these I have used Kailh box whites. In comparison these feels a little smoother maybe but still clicky.
