Although the matching Retro R8 Xbox Edition wireless mouse hasn't received a discount yet, the $60 price is already low. The Retro R8 has a clever design and comes with four other programmable buttons – two on each side of the mouse. Just like the Retro 87's orientation keys, the Retro R8's extra buttons match the color of the Xbox controller's face buttons.
The RETRO R8 connects to Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless PC, MAC and Android devices via the included dongle. USB-A dongle can be stored in the mouse itself or in the included magnetic charging dock. If you prefer a wired connection, the Retro R8 is like a keyboard, including a green USB-C cable for charging and wired modes. The mouse can also be charged directly, so you don't need to carry the dock with you when you leave the table.
You can use the setup patch for Retro R8 in the Ultimate Software V2 application for desktop or mobile devices. The mouse is bundled with a one-month trial of the PC gaming pass for new subscribers. If you purchase a keyboard and mouse, you will not be able to redeem both coupons.
