Suppose you're a retro gamer who has been gaming on console and PC hardware for decades. In that case, 8BitDo is a brand that creates high-quality peripherals and gear that taps into that nostalgia vein of retro gaming goodness. Last year, we reported on 8BitDo's retro original Xbox console-themed mouse and keyboard. Before that, we took a look at the company's NES-inspired keyboard.

That NES-inspired keyboard, the 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard, is now listed as the "perfect companion" to the company's latest offering - the NES-inspired 8BitDo Retro R8 Mouse - N Edition. Similar to the Xbox version, but with Nintendo Entertainment System colors, the 8BitDo Retro R8 Mouse might look old-school, but it's packing some serious hardware.

The wireless 8BitDo Retro R8 Mouse - N Edition is powered by the PAW 3395 sensor, which features a sensitivity of 26,000 DPI and a polling rate of up to 8K. Underneath the buttons, you'll find Kailh Sword GM X Micro Switches rated at up to 100 million clicks. It also supports tri-mode connectivity with low-latency wireless, Bluetooth, and wired over USB.

It also ships with an impressive chagrin dock that matches the mouse's shape and NES-inspired colors. As a symmetrical mouse, it supports left and right-handed grips, with all customization handled via 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 on PC. Pre-orders for the mouse are now open at Amazon (US) and Amazon (UK), priced at $89.99 and £44.99 respectively.

Here are a few more shots alongside specs for the 8BitDo Retro R8 Mouse - N Edition.
