The Nintendo 64, which launched on June 23, 1996, marks its 30th anniversary today. 8BitDo, a brand popular for its retro-inspired gaming gear, is releasing a mechanical keyboard and an Ultimate 2 wireless gamepad in the familiar 'Clear Blue' colorway once iconic to Nintendo consoles.

The color scheme appears to be inspired by the Nintendo 64's Clear Blue model. This bright, translucent teal is perhaps even more familiar to many in Korea through the Nintendo Game Boy.
The Nintendo 64 30th Anniversary mechanical keyboard features a TKL layout and, based on the images, uses the same MDA profile seen in previous 8BitDo keyboards. While the MDA profile is slightly taller than the OEM or Cherry profiles found on standard off-the-shelf keyboards, many users prefer it for its rounded feel and the satisfying sensation of 'pressing' rather than just 'typing' on the keys.
The bottom row, including the space bar, as well as the navigation and arrow keys, feature various matte colors reminiscent of Nintendo. With the addition of LED lighting, the device offers a more refreshing, oceanic aesthetic than the original Clear Blue. The official price is approximately ₩120k (based on the exchange rate as of June 23, 2026).
The Nintendo 64 30th Anniversary Ultimate 2 wireless gamepad is equipped with TMR joysticks featuring dual-trigger switching, a built-in 6-axis gyroscope, and additional shoulder buttons. It also comes with an auto-start/stop charging dock. The official price is approximately ₩52k (based on the exchange rate as of June 23, 2026).
