Gaming keyboards are all the rage these days, and for Prime Day, you can score a big deal on 8BitDo’s excellent line of retro-themed devices. These are available in several variants, but the standout deal here is the 8BitDo C64 keyboard, as not only do you get a device that pays homage to the Commodore 64 with its color scheme, but big action buttons and a joystick, all for just $88. Considering it normally costs $110, this is quite the bargain. If those colors don’t catch your eye and you’re not too concerned about losing out on a free joystick, you can also check out the Famicom and NES-inspired keyboards for sale.

So what makes these keyboards so great? First, they’re wireless TKL mechanical keyboards with a very durable design, options to use them in a wired mode, and hot-swappable PCB for easy customization without soldering. Like other 8BitDo products, they have a high level of customization through the company’s custom software for the price point. The included Dual Super buttons on a separate gamepad are also great, as you can map different functions to them.
If you’d like to pair a numpad with this and do your taxes, 8BitDo has an official mechanical numpad that recently launched. Priced at $45, it can easily pair with your keyboard or you can switch it to calculator mode and marvel at the cool red LED display on it.
These keyboard deals won’t be available for long. Prime Day only runs July 16 and 17, and this deal is sure to end–or even sell out–before then, so grab them while you can.
