The 8BitDo N30 Wireless Mouse is a retro technology solution for users who are seeking a way to enjoy a touch of classic gaming functionality during their everyday routine. Designed by Daniel Jansson for 8BitDo, the mouse draws its inspiration from the [Nintendo Entertainment System](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8bitdo-retro-108) ([NES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nes-gamepad)) controller, which includes a directional pad on the side as well as vibrant red buttons on the top. Although it looks like a retro peripheral, the mouse has a 3D touch panel integrated between the two buttons on the top section to allow for an intuitive user experience.

The 8BitDo N30 Wireless Mouse is compatible for use with both Windows and [macOS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8bitdo-pro-3) devices, and is available now for avid retro gamer enthusiasts to pick up.
