Following a release trailer a few months back, retro peripheral maker 8BitDo is now shipping its iconic Retro R8 Mouse – N Edition across Europe. The sleek NES-inspired mouse will cost  €49.99/£44.99 and is up now for pre-order on Amazon as well as other retailers. It has four programmable side buttons, allowing users to tailor the mouse to their preference and customise their gaming experience. Featuring Kailh Sword GM X Micro Switches, the Retro R8 Mouse has been engineered for durability up to 100 million clicks.

The Retro R8 Mouse comes packaged alongside its multifunctional charging dock, allowing you to keep your mouse powered and ready for use, whilst also acting as a stylish extension of the product itself. The charging dock also acts as an extender for the wireless adaptor, offering robust and uninterrupted connectivity. Users can utilise the 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 to take full advantage of the customisation built into the mouse and create a unique experience for themselves. 

In a press statement, 8BitDo said. “The latest mouse in the 8BitDo range of streamlined classics is now available for gamers across the EU. The Retro R8 Mouse brings the company’s iconic design, seen in the Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard, to complete a cohesive and stylish desk setup for all retro gaming fans.”
