Damn. 8BitDo is getting their money's worth out of those poor injection-molds. 🤣

I understand it's a nice enough keyboard at its price point, but I'm not entirely sure the exact same piece of plastic is equally successful at evoking the NES, the Famicom, the C64, the Model M, the Saturn, and the XBox.
