8BitDo Retro R8 Mouse with PAW 3395 Optical Sensor DPI 26K, Wireless 4K Polling Mouse with Charging Dock, Programmable Buttons, and Kailh Sword GM X Micro Switches - Xbox Edition(Officially Licensed)

i love the color. i went with this one over the other models because the translucent plastic would match my mecha break keyboard a little better. was it worth the extra money over the regular one? it came with a month of pc game pass which costs 14 bucks. so its worth it just based on that alone. the color is flawless. it looks so good. the dpi settings beyond like the second or third from the bottom are just completely useless. but thats ok thats par for the course for a gaming mouse. the charging dock is pretty sick ngl. it looks so good on the dock and it has a usb port in the dock for the little 2.4 fob. just drop that bad boy in there and it only takes up 1 usb port for charging and connection. very nice. it pairs with my android phone and works with my windows desktop just fine. it is pretty comfy to hold, i enjoy this shape of mouse very much. the polling rate is outrageous. 1000hz is overkill, and this can do way more than that. this thing is just overkill in as many ways as it can be. its really light which im not used to. but ill get used to it. clicking feels weirdly soft and stuff but ill get over it. side buttons are absurdly easy to press accidentally but ill get used to it. im not sure im even gonna use them on this mouse anyway. but i do like the 3 mode connectivity. that gives options and since its rated for 100 million clicks, when the battery eventually goes in a few years, just run it wired. this mouse is a good investment.its my favorite mouse ive used so far.

This mouse surprised me, I got it for the charging stand and the retro gamer look, and was happy with the way the mouse felt in my hand, being an ambidextrous mouse my lefty family members can also use it effectively, No downloads or drivers needed just works, works great in my games and my work applications, scroll wheel feels smooth and solid. No flex or creaking on the body of the mouse and the clicks feel and sound nice! Great overall device!

I'm a fan of the retro look that 8Bitdo goes for a lot and this mouse is no exception. It's cool that they also matched the dock to the same look. It's very easy to charge the mouse on the dock so the looks aren't the only thing nice about the dock. As for actual use, don't let the retro look fool you - it's responsive, comfortable, lightweight but not cheap feeling. The software that's used is minimalistic is features but it does what you need it to do. There's no RGB or lighting at all on the mouse so it can be hard to see in a darker environment if you set it down. But that's not an issue typically for me. It's been dropped a few times since purchase and it's never shown any wear or damage. There are 2 programmable buttons on each side that I haven't really used for anything as of yet and thankfully they do not get in the way of typical use either. It's nice to have something in this price range that includes all the features you'd expect and then some.

At this price point, I feel like most people wouldn't expect much, and I didn't either. I've had previous experience with 8BitDo's computer peripherals before and I've always enjoyed them, and the retro styling does a lot to appeal to me, but much like the keyboard this is a genuinely good mouse even without the gimmick of the aesthetic. There /are/ a handful of nice features, mind; the ambidextrous side buttons are basically useless to me as a rightie but in a pinch they can be used as another two side buttons (handy for MMO macros, personally), the wireless dock is a welcome change from previous mice using batteries that inevitably you run out of before you remember your mouse needs them, and in turn the ability to just connect it through USB is great if you forget to charge (for... weeks?), and while the software is pretty barebones the ability to quickly rebind the handful of buttons available is always appreciated. It feels nice in the hand, though the hard edges on the bottom are a little too easy for my fingers to reach and it feels a little lighter than I would like, and I'm not sure how much I love the recessed side buttons. The face buttons on the NES controller didn't recess its buttons, and I genuinely feel like not having them protrude out slightly like with most mouse side buttons makes it a little more inconvenient to hit them. YMMV, of course. Generally speaking, though, I'm very happy with it.

works pretty much exactly as you want. haven't had an issue with battery life yet, the dock makes sure you can always easily charge it when out of use making it really easy to use. build quality feels a little bit thin, but not like it'll shatter on you, just that you won't be able to gamer rage on it. i've never really seen the reason for a dpi adjustment button but it has one, you can press it until it feels good and then ignore the button forever. all in all i was a little scared because the shape is abnormal, and the buttons can be inconvenient to press, but it's worked well for what I use it for and in terms of value for money, it has everything I wanted it to and I'm quite satisfied.

I love this mouse. Of course the aesthetic is what drew me in. I mostly use an ergonomic shaped mouse, and I am a firm believer that variety is one of the best things you can do for your wrist, so I switch between this and an ergonomic shaped mouse. Having so many DPI settings directly built in to the mouse is great. I've been using this at work and home, since I don't need software to change the sensitivity. The click is kinda loud (I prefer quiet clicks) but they are nice a deep, so they aren't sharp and irritating. The dock is great. USB feeds to the back of it, you plug the dongle into the charging base. Such a good and clever design. I love the feel and sound of the scroll wheel. It's just a solid mouse with some really thoughtful design behind it.

Got this to match the 8bitdo NES themed keyboard that I absolutely love. The dock is convenient and looks great, the battery life is long and I've only had it die once due to forgetting to toss it on the charger every once in awhile. I just pulled the cord and made it wired while it charged. It feels great to use, nice and light. Got it set to Bluetooth when I switch over to my laptop. The issues were that the right click was too sensitive and the weight of my finger kept making it go off, so I stuffed some cardboard in there and it seems to have been working better in that aspect. As the time of this review, after having it for maybe half a year, the scroll wheel has now started tripping up, annoyingly to the point where I may need to replace it. I even opened it up and cleaned it up, but issues persist. Where am I gonna find another NES themed mouse that isn't going to fail me like this has?

The box arrived in good condition without any damage. The actual mouse itself is pretty nice, albeit a bit small for my enormous hands (although, most people should not have any issue with it. I've been using it every day for the past 2 weeks, and it's a comfortable piece of equipment! The mount is convenient for charging purposes, and the side buttons are NOT difficult to press by any means. Actually, in my experience, I think they're extremely easy to press, thus I simply unmapped them in the 8BitDo custom software. Overall, I would recommend.

It's a great mouse if you like retro style and feeling. Though the USB cable that comes with it is bad quality... After not even a month of usage I keep getting USB disconnects frequently! Then after a few seconds it reconnects. Super annoying since it's a wireless mouse and it simply stops working every now and then =\ After replacing the USB cable I have not been having any issues every since...

great mouse, initially i bought it for the look as im a big fan of retro tech but it ended up being way better then i expected, its very very light which i didn't expect considering how heavy the matching keyboard is but I'm not complaining at all. The mouse looks great and has amazing battery life, I'm yet to run out of it after many hours of non-top use. Mouse is a little on the small side but by no means is it uncomfortable for me. Best part by far is the software and the buttons, the mouse has tons of customization on the 8BitDo app to fine tune to your liking, the 4 extra programable buttons are awesome and the ability to program them to work and functions like copy and paste is great, even better when paired with the ability to have multiple profiles to swap between meaning you can have different setups for work, game, editing, even game to game, great mouse and would highly recommend to anyone that wants a unique but high quality and functional mouse

Comprato insieme alla tastiera abbinata. Mouse eccellente in tutto per tutto. Esteticamente perfetto, ottimo sensore, ricevitore 2.4ghz senza alcun tipo di latenza, base di ricarica perfetta, durata della batteria ottima. 10/10

Excellente souris ! La 8BitDo Retro Mouse est parfaite pour le gaming comme pour une utilisation variée. Le DPI réglable permet une précision adaptée à chaque jeu, et la station de charge intégrée est ultra pratique au quotidien. Le design rétro inspiré de la Super NES apporte une touche unique qui s'accorde parfaitement avec le setup 8BitDo. Un vrai mélange de performance moderne et de nostalgie rétro.

8BitDo have done an amazing job with this mouse. As someone who has used a lot of mice from Logitech G Pro Superlight, G502x, Pulsar's X2 and X2H and the Glorious Model O V1 and V2 and Glorious Forge series. Sometimes you just want something simple and effective and this mouse from 8BitDo does that. Although it may not be the most ergonomic mouse it feels comfortable to use. The side buttons are a little bit odd because they are so small but once you get used to it that problem goes away. The best part of this mouse is the charging dock. The magnets to the base are strong. It has a spot for the 2.4ghz adaptor so you just plug it into the dock and then the included USB C to A cable into your PC and you have both charging and connection in one. It is really well thought out. The fact you can swap between 2.4ghz to Bluetooth makes this mouse even better. As you can use it for your gaming PC and then use the same mouse for when you are working from home. It has done a great job of simplifying my peripherals. In regards to competitive gaming I have not noticed any difference in my first person shooting performance when using the Retro R8 mouse to some of the more competitive focused mice. Would definitely recommend. Also the Xbox theme is the best.
