8BitDo has updated its Retro Mechanical Keyboard offering with a new all-in-one unit. Available at a discount compared with other models, the Best Buy Exclusive Edition features not only the keyboard itself, but also Dual Super Button and Super Stick accessories.

8BitDo will be releasing its first Nintendo 64-based controller later today. However, it has also refreshed its Retro Mechanical Keyboard, which it has been offering in Commodore 64 form (curr. $89.99 on Amazon) since the spring.

This time, it has decided to create a Best Buy Exclusive Edition, which is available both online and in-store. However, this new release is a US exclusive. By contrast, Best Buy Canada still sells prior versions of the Retro Mechanical Keyboard. As 8BitDo's teaser images imply, the new release includes Dual Super Button and Super Stick accessories within one package.

For context, 8BitDo typically offers the latter as a $14.99 optional purchase. Nonetheless, the Best Buy Exclusive Edition costs just $10 more than its regular counterparts. Incidentally, the Super Stick is currently sold out on 8BitDo's website. For reference, the new variant continues to feature a metal back plate, Kailh Box White V2 switches and 87 doubleshot ABS keycaps, as well as 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth and wired connectivity. Please see Best Buy's product listing for further details.
