8BitDo has given its Retro R8 Mouse an NES makeover.

First released alongside 8BitDo’s Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard - Xbox Edition last November with a matching transparent green shell, the Retro R8 Mouse is now available in an N Edition with colors inspired by the NES.

Functionally it’s the same as the Xbox version with an included charging dock, four programmable side buttons, and Bluetooth, 2.4GHz and USB connectivity. It also uses Kailh Sword GM X Micro Switches for its primary buttons, and a PAW 3395 optical sensor.

<em>The included charging dock is a convenient way to keep the mouse’s 450mAh battery topped off.</em>
