Typing of the Dead<\/a><\/em>. How far can I make it?<\/p> As it turns out, I made it to the last chapter using the default settings, which I don\u2019t think is that bad since I haven\u2019t played it in \u2013 my gosh \u2013 15 years. For many of the chapters, I ranked at the top of the prepopulated leaderboards. I\u2019m not sure how well a normal human would do in the game. I\u2019m clocked at somewhere over 80 WPM with high accuracy. Please be impressed. I\u2019d really like to excel at something.<\/p>
So, now we know that the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard is capable of handling Typing of the Dead<\/em>. I\u2019m not sure what else we\u2019d need it for. I suppose it also does the other things I do, like playing text adventures, complaining about video games, and writing erotica. I\u2019m even using it to \u201cpen\u201d this article, so that\u2019s pretty cool.<\/p> Screenshot by Destructoid<\/figcaption><\/figure> Suffer like G did?<\/h2> 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard also comes with two \u201cSuper Buttons\u201d which are\u2026 hm. Well, you can map them to other keys, macros, or common shortcuts. I haven\u2019t fully decided what I\u2019m going to use them for, but I\u2019ve currently got the one set closest to me as \u201cmute.\u201d I think I might set the other one to my video driver\u2019s screenshot button. There are spots to connect more Super Buttons \u2013 four sets, for up to eight buttons. I\u2019d really like to see that.<\/p>
I imagine they\u2019re more for streamers who need something mapped to somewhere easy to reach. I don\u2019t watch streamers, so I have no idea, but I guess one could be mapped to do a fart sound. Do streamers\u2026 use fart sounds?<\/p>
There are also two mappable buttons on the keyboard marked \u201cA\u201d and \u201cB.\u201d They\u2019re called the Supper Buttons, and I am absolutely not making that up. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a mistake, either, so someone has my exact sense of humor, which is to say, one informed almost entirely by Homestar Runner<\/em>. I set one Supper Button to work as the Fn key, but when I have mute and volume right on my keyboard, I don\u2019t know what I\u2019d use it for. I\u2019m just compounding my decision issues.<\/p> Screenshot by Destructoid<\/figcaption><\/figure> Th-This is my keyboard! It was made for me!<\/h2> But the fact is that the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard is the keyboard for me. I have a lot of nostalgia for the beige electronics of yesteryear, but in particular, I love the Famicom. The lock screen on my phone is a Famicom controller (it unlocks to an NES controller home screen). It\u2019s this weird intersection between a toy and a computer.<\/p>
I\u2019m not using hyperbole, and I don\u2019t intend to gush. But the fact is, it\u2019s a keyboard that aesthetically suits me better than anything else possibly could. This is for me. This is my keyboard.<\/p>
My only concern is that the beige keys will eventually become yellowed from constant use, and I\u2019ll eventually\u2014begrudgingly\u2014have to part with it someday. I\u2019m already thinking I should buy a compatible replacement PCB for it, if this one gives out after 80 million keystrokes. I want this keyboard to last forever. It may sound dramatic, but I\u2019m hoping that I go out before it does, and if that happens, make sure to bury me with it.<\/p>
