Retro Gaming Fans, Take Note: 8BitDo’s Mecha Break Keyboard Sells Out on Amazon—But There’s Still a Way to Grab One


If you’ve been eyeing 8BitDo’s Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard in the eye-catching "Mecha Break" colorway, you might’ve hit a snag on Amazon recently. The nostalgic keyboard, praised for its retro aesthetic, tactile mechanical switches (Kailh Box V2), and seamless Bluetooth/USB-C connectivity, is currently out of stock on Amazon UK.

This isn’t entirely surprising—the Mecha Break Edition, with its vibrant blue-and-orange retro-futuristic design, has been a hit among gamers and keyboard enthusiasts since its launch. Its fusion of 80s arcade vibes with modern hot-swappable switches made it an instant collector’s item. But don’t cancel your plans for a tactile typing upgrade just yet!

Good news: You can still buy it directly from 8BitDo’s official store. The company has inventory ready to ship, often with bundled accessories like novelty keycaps or a matching mouse. Here are the links for both options—keep the Amazon page bookmarked for restocks, or head straight to 8BitDo to snag yours now:

Priced around £99/$110, the keyboard features programmable keys, NES-inspired arrow buttons, and dual device pairing—making it as practical as it is stylish. For now, skipping the Amazon waitlist and ordering from 8BitDo’s store is the fastest way to secure this retro gem.

Pro tip: 8BitDo’s store occasionally offers exclusive discounts or early access to new color variants. If the Mecha Break’s electric blue has your heart, act fast—these niche keyboards tend to sell like hotcakes!

Update: Amazon expects restocks in 1–2 weeks, but direct orders via 8bitdo.com typically ship within 48 hours. For collectors, this might be the safest bet. Happy clacking! ⌨️✨
