As a part of its wider sale on peripherals and PS5/Switch games, Woot is now offering 8BitDo’s M Edition Retro Mechanical Keyboard for $59.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). Regularly $100, this throwback-style mechanical keyboard inspired by the legendary IBM Model M is now seeing a solid 40% markdown. That’s straight up a $40 discount on its usual going rate at Amazon where it is currently fetching $85. Today’s deal lands the steepest discount we’ve tracked for it to date, dropping it $20 below its previous low and our mention from September last year. Woot also has the NES Edition of this keyboard back down at $60 low, so feel free to pick the one you like after getting more details about this model below.

This version of 8BitDo’s Retro TKL, as the name implies, is inspired by IBM’s classic Model M keyboard with custom keycaps to match the theme. It’s a Tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard that closely resembles other Retro TKL models in 8BitDo’s lineup. This one even comes with two large, fully customizable “Super Buttons,” and it ships fully built with Kailh Box Switch V2 White switches. It supports tri-mode connectivity via Bluetooth, a 2.4GHz dongle, and a USB-C connector, and both the NES and the M Edition units of the Retro TKL are compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Android.
