Positioned on the top left corner is a dedicated volume dial, allowing quick adjustments on the fly. Plus, users have the flexibility to switch between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, or even go wired with a USB connection for minimal lag during intense gameplay sessions—perfect for those competitive matches!

For those who love customization, 8BitDo has also made waves in the market with a recent release of 165 keycaps boasting designs inspired by the NES version of the Retro Mechanical Keyboard, allowing gamers to personalize their setups. However, the Retro 108 is designed to cater to those who prefer a complete solution without the fuss of DIY customization.
