8BitDo has announced two new peripherals to commemorate the Nintendo 64's 30th anniversary: the Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard N64 Edition in a clear blue colourway and a matching Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller.

The Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard from the 30th-anniversary N64 collection (via Cowcotland) features a clear blue aesthetic with colour-coded keycaps that match the original console's controller, including yellow arrow keys for the C-buttons and a red left Ctrl key representing the Start button. This model ships with two wired Super Buttons and features an aluminium plate, a hot-swappable PCB, and Cloud Gray Linear switches co-developed with Huano. Connectivity includes Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, and wired USB. Additionally, it supports N-key rollover, full configuration via 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2, and a dedicated Xbox Game Bar button for Windows and Android.

Launching alongside the keyboard, the Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller N64 Edition has a translucent blue top shell, coloured ABXY buttons, a translucent white D-pad, grey thumbsticks, and blue back buttons. A grey charging dock comes bundled with the device. Internal specifications match the standard Ultimate 2 controller, offering TMR thumbsticks, RGB lighting, a six-axis motion sensor, and a 1000Hz polling rate in both wired and 2.4G modes. Platform compatibility covers Windows, Android, SteamOS, and Apple devices.

Pricing for the Retro 87 keyboard sits at $99.99, with shipping scheduled to begin on August 14th. Meanwhile, the Ultimate 2 wireless controller is available now for $59.99.

KitGuru says: Nostalgic clear blue shells remain a popular aesthetic choice, and these N64-themed additions provide a clean look for retro enthusiasts looking to update their desktop peripherals.

Turtle Beach has officially launched the new Pacific Skyline Wireless Controller for Xbox, PC, and Android devices. The company designed the controller with a colourful look inspired by the San Diego skyline and the California coast, where Turtle Beach first started.

The Pacific Skyline Wireless Controller comes with soft pastel colours, palm tree artwork, and six RGB lighting zones. The lighting creates a glowing skyline effect across the controller, giving it a unique style that stands out from standard gaming controllers. Turtle Beach says the design is made for players who want their gaming setup to match their personality.

Along with the eye-catching design, the controller also focuses on gaming performance. It features premium TMR thumbsticks that offer faster and more accurate movement during gameplay. The controller also includes dual rumble motors and impulse triggers for stronger feedback while playing racing, action, and shooting games.

Players will also get two mappable back buttons that can be customised for different controls and shortcuts. Wireless support is available for Xbox and Windows PCs through a USB transmitter, while Bluetooth support allows users to connect the controller to Android devices.

Turtle Beach says the controller is built for both casual and competitive gaming, while also giving players a more stylish option for their setup.
