Gears of War: E-Day Limited Edition 8BitDo Retro R8 Mouse

The Gears of War: E-Day Limited Edition Retro R8 is an officially licensed Xbox special edition of 8BitDo’s Retro R8 mouse, sold separately from the matching Retro 87 keyboard.

Price and availability: $59.99. Official ship date is October 30, 2026. Pre-orders opened in late September on the 8BitDo shop; stock has flipped between available and sold out at some retailers, so availability can change quickly. The matching keyboard is $119.99, also shipping October 30.

Look: Black and crimson “Emergence Day” styling — translucent red sections, black buttons, palm rest, and scroll wheel, plus a charging dock with E-Day branding and a translucent red 2.4G receiver. Same battle-worn cracked-earth language as the keyboard.

• Huano switches rated for up to 100 million clicks
• Four programmable side buttons; left- or right-hand mode switch

  450 mAh battery: about 100 hours on Bluetooth, 26–105 hours on 2.4G depending on polling rate; about 2.5 hours to charge
• 115 × 58 × 39.4 mm, 77 g
• Charging dock also acts as a 2.4G signal extender and stores the adapter
