    This looks awesome. How are the switches and keys? Does anyone have experience with these brands?

      I can’t speak to the quality of the keyboard, but 8BitDo is a reputable brand. They make good controllers, I have a couple.

    • Article says they are Kailh Box White switches. I’ve used Kailh Reds, Blues and Browns and they all feel exactly the same as CherryMX switches (of which I’ve used the same colors).

      I have never used a “Box White” or even heard of white switches from any brand. All I can attest to is the other Kailh brand switches I’ve used are just as good as the more popular brands, but cost less.

        The clicky Box switches are THE reason to use Box switches, their use of the click bar compared to a click jacket is far superior.

        @Snipe_AT If you like clickies, the Box Whites will be fab. I like them so much I went even more hardcore with Box White Owls, which have a stronger click bar and even higher tactility.

      8bitdo is currently really good for thier gamepads. Maybe one of the best brands. They tend towards programmability, durability, and nice features. I have a couple of thier controllers and when I eventually need a new one they’ll be the first ones I look at.

      idk about the keyboard, but I’ve got one of their SN30 Pro+ Controllers and its awesome. Had it for years and haven’t really have any issues with it.

      Switches Kailh box switches, they’re some of the best switches around. Keycaps are PBT so they’re good

      I’ve had mixed experiences. Their controllers are great, but the bluetooth controller adapter is a fickle and annoying piece of hardware.
