Now, you'll most likely have seen the 8BitDo Retro range of keyboards doing the rounds over the past few months, as the company has been pumping out fantastic variations on the core mechanical board that take in the likes of Nintendo, the Commodore 64 and, in this case, the original Xbox console in all of its "black green" glory.
If, like us, you're a ravenous Xbox fan who immediately comes down like a Kinect peripheral on anything that's not quite right in these sorts of tributary ventures, you'll likely be a little concerned with the colour straight out of the gate, too. The Xbox had a very specific and unique look to it, it's imperative that 8BitDo gets this part right! Luckily, upon unboxing, they've only gone and nailed it, with an exact match for 2001's shade of green that's left us reeling. We have been smashed squarely in the jaw, face and arms with the old nostalgia hammer, and we love it.
