\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Following the release of last year\u2019s Retro Mechanical Keyboard, 8bitdo decided to give the keyboard the one good thing it was missing \u2013 a gorgeous numpad. Inspired by the retro aesthetic of tech from the 80s and 90s, the Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad exists as an independent peripheral device that can either pair up with its companion keyboard, or be used independently like an old-school calculator. A red and black seven-segment display on the top feels like retro-perfection to the eyes, and those clacky keys are sure to get your fingers crunching numbers every day because of how wonderfully tactile they are.<\/p>\n

The Numpad comes in four delightful flavors, ahem colors, each inspired by iconic gaming systems: the M edition, the Famicom edition, the C64 model, and the N edition reminiscent of the NES. These draw inspiration from the design language of those classic consoles, offering a delightful dose of retro charm for your desk setup. The M Edition is the only one to sport a black and white display, while all the others have a black-red screen that is literal eye-candy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beyond aesthetics, the Numpad boasts functionality in the form of two modes: a standard calculator mode with an integrated display and a PC numpad mode for entering numbers on your computer. This versatility allows it to seamlessly switch between basic calculations and data entry tasks. Buttons on the top let you alternate between modes and even explore connectivity options.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For connectivity, the Numpad offers a variety of options. It includes a USB cable, Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless freedom, and a 2.4GHz USB adapter for a lag-free connection. The rechargeable 1000mAh Li-on battery offers a solid 160 hours of use on a single charge, ensuring it can keep up with your workflow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Numpad\u2019s quality matches 8bitdo\u2019s high standards, featuring dye-PBT or double-shot ABS keycaps (depending on the edition) for a comfortable typing experience. It utilizes Kalih Box White V2 switches, known for their satisfying tactility and durability. Additionally, the hot-swapp<\/a>able PCB allows for easy switch customization to personalize your typing feel.<\/p>\n

A dongle at the bottom allows easy 2.4Ghz pairing with any laptop or desktop<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Priced at $44.99 and available for pre-order now, the 8BitDo Retro 18 Mechanical Numpad is a niche product, but one that caters to a specific audience. It injects a shot of retro charm into your workspace while offering a functional and well-built numpad experience. Besides, if you\u2019ve got a keyboard with a layout that\u2019s either 80% or smaller, chances are you\u2019ll need a numpad to match \u2013 this one\u2019s perfect to complement your mechanical setup or your retro sensibilities. I also appreciate the fact that you\u2019ll never have to open your phone\u2019s calculator app again.<\/p>\n
