Retro colors and big ol' programmable "Super Buttons," but no numpad.

      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

    Thanks for the links! I like the others, but not really feeling the ROG looks too much like liked I’d be typing on Fullgore. I agree with numpad, I don’t use em much lately but there are so many nice ones and they’re usually pretty cheap even though the quality is great. But being able to have keyboard that you can alter in a couple seconds would pretty cool.

    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.

        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.

    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.

    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?

      I hate myself for ordering this. I had a big tub full of at least a dozen keyboards I haven’t touched several years and told myself I was going to stop. But here I am with a pre-order.

      I think the big buttons are what did it. I don’t really know if I’ll end up with support based on what was listed, but I guess I’ll hope for the best.

        Honestly I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’ve got a NuPhy %75 on order + a few I rotate as daily drivers and I’m opening and closing the pre-order page for this one now, over and over. Why are we like this 🫠

    Oh wow, just another generic mech keyboard.

    …oh wait I kind of really want it.

    Except I’d like it without the two giant buttons. I won’t ever use those lol

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