The see-through consoles and controllers from the late 1990s made the hardware itself part of the aesthetic, and the ice blue variant of the N64 in particular developed a cult following that outlasted the console\u2019s commercial run by several decades. The transparency wasn\u2019t a gimmick then, and it still doesn\u2019t feel like one now.<\/p>\n<p>The 8BitDo Retro 87 Keyboard in Clear Blue arrives as part of the N64\u2019s 30th anniversary and borrows that translucent blue finish directly. But the design doesn\u2019t stop at the shell. Specific keys carry the actual color palette of the original N64 controller: yellow arrow keys for the C-buttons, blue and green A and B keys, and a red left Ctrl referencing the Start button. For anyone who logged enough hours with that particular controller, the color map reads im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.8bitdo.com\/products\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-clear-blue\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">8BitDo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-641629\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-09.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-641629\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-09.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"048e26bbbef42d4c92d38d2f-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"048e26bbbef42d4c92d38d2f-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Clear Blue edition uses 8BitDo Cloud Gray Linear mechanical switches, co-developed with HUANO specifically for this version and distinct from the Kailh Box White switches in the Fami and N editions.

Something that references a 30-year-old console doesn\u2019t need to pretend it\u2019s a neutral office accessory.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-641646\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-641646\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-641647\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-641647\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a certain honesty to the approach here. The Clear Blue colorway isn\u2019t a subtle nod or a distant reference; it\u2019s an explicit callback to a specific era of hardware design that a generation of players grew up with. The translucent shell shows the PCB and internal components through the blue tint, carrying the same logic those original Funtastic consoles did: the inside of the hardware was worth looking at.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-641648\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-641648\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2026\/08\/14\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"8BitDo Made the N64\u2019s 30th Anniversary Keyboard Every Millennial Wants\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2026\/08\/8bitdo-made-the-n64s-30th-anniversary-keyboard-every-millennial-wants\/8bitdo-retro-87-keyboard-cool-blue-n64-30th-anniv-10.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"yanko-preferred-source\" style=\"margin: 24px 0 16px;
