European Xbox fans can finally get their hands on one of 8BitDo’s most eye-catching hardware collections. Distributor Game Outlet Europe has announced that the 8BitDo Retro Collection is now available across Europe, bringing the Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard, Retro R8 Mouse, Ultimate 3-Mode Controller, and upcoming Retro 18 Numpad to the region for the first time. Previously launched in North America, the collection embraces the translucent green aesthetic of the original Xbox while pairing retro-inspired looks with modern gaming features. The launch comes as Microsoft continues to celebrate a busy summer for the Xbox ecosystem, giving PC and console players another way to bring some classic Xbox flair to their setups.
8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard – Xbox Edition
Leading the lineup is the Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard, a compact mechanical board inspired by the original Xbox console.
Key features include:
- MSRP: €119.99 / £104.99
- 87-key layout

- Double-layer ABS keycaps with matte UV coating
- Kailh switches
- N-key rollover support
- Wireless 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and wired USB connectivity

The translucent green shell immediately evokes memories of the original Xbox, while the included Dual Super Buttons provide extra programmable inputs for gaming shortcuts, macros, or productivity tasks.
Retro 18 Numpad Arrives in July
Launching in July 2026, the Retro 18 Numpad expands the keyboard setup with matching styling and a few unexpected extras.

Ultimate 3-Mode Controller Gets a New Jade Finish
Rounding out the collection is the Ultimate 3-Mode Controller, now available in a new translucent Jade colorway that perfectly complements the rest of the Xbox-themed hardware.
Features include:
- MSRP: €69.99 / £59.99
- Official Xbox licensing

The controller remains one of 8BitDo’s most popular products thanks to its Hall-effect sticks, which help eliminate stick drift concerns, while extensive software customization allows players to tweak sensitivity, remap buttons, and create custom macros.
With localized keyboard layouts available for the UK, Germany, France, and Spain, the 8BitDo Retro collection’s arrival marks one of 8BitDo’s largest European hardware launches to date. The keyboard, mouse, and controller are available now, while the Retro 18 Numpad is scheduled to join the lineup in July.
