The compact 8BitDo Retro 18 N Edition mechanical numeric keypad combines a numpad and calculator in one device. It offers 3 connection methods (Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, USB‑C), programmable keys, Kailh Box White V2 switches, N‑Key Rollover, and hot‑swap. A retro design inspired by the Nintendo Entertainment System and long battery life of up to 160 hours will please classic‑lovers and power users alike.
The 8BitDo Retro 18 N Edition is more than just a numeric keypad — it’s a powerful numpad and full‑fledged calculator in one. Thanks to its three operating modes, programmable keys, and a sturdy aluminum top plate, it handles fast number entry, calculations, and productivity shortcuts in office apps with ease.
The Kailh Box White V2 mechanical switches ensure crisp tactile feedback and long lifespan. N‑Key Rollover eliminates ghosting, while hot‑swap lets you replace switches easily without soldering. Connectivity via Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and USB‑C provides cross‑device flexibility and stable performance. A stylish retro LED in the spirit of the C64 underscores the distinctive look inspired by the Nintendo Entertainment System.
