8BitDo now sells the NES-themed keycaps from its retro keyboard

8BitDo is now selling a set of keycaps featuring the same Nintendo Entertainment System-inspired design as those used on the Retro Mechanical Keyboard it debuted last July. While the keyboard is now available in four styles, including Commodore 64 and Famicom designs, only the NES-style keycaps are currently available on their own.

The $49.99 8BitDo Retro Keycaps set includes 165 PBT keys with legends printed using dye-sublimation for added durability. The expanded set allows the keys to be used on larger keyboards with a dedicated number pad. 8BitDo's $99.99 mechanical keyboards are only available in a shorter tenkeyless layout.

The set features alternate designs for some keys, like a spacebar with an added health meter in two different lengths, and both the American ANSI and international ISO versions of others, like an Enter key with an inverted L design and a smaller Shift key. 8BitDo says the set supports 65, 75, 80, 95, and 100 percent layouts, as well as ergonomic split keyboards, but compatibility is limited to MX-style switches.

If you want to stick with a compact tenkeyless layout but feel you'll still be missing a dedicated number pad, 8BitDo's $44.99 wireless mechanical numpad doubles as a desktop calculator and is available with matching NES theming.
