If I had a dollar for every NES gaming mouse out there, I'd have two dollars. Yes, despite my adoration for retro console nonsense, I would say it happening twice is weird, but unlike 8Bitdo's first attempt, the Retro R8 balances classic aesthetics with contemporary features in a way that gives me sleeper PC build aspirations.
As much as I love weird gaming mouse designs, I've definitely got a line. If I weren't fussy about ergonomics and performance, I'd probably be using one of my novelty mice, and believe me when I say playing Overwatch 2 with a clicker shaped like Anakin from Star Wars: Episode One's head isn't a fabulous idea. Simply put, I need something that feels super comfortable and can keep up with the fastest peripherals, and the 8Bitdo R8 checks both boxes.
