Final Preorder March 2-4 for Limited Hypergryph x 8BitDo Arknights Keyboard

Hypergryph (Arknights) and 8BitDo's collaborative mechanical keyboard set will have its final preorder period from March 2-4 exclusively on 8BitDo's online store. This is the last opportunity to purchase the set, as it won't be restocked afterward." That statement frames the only confirmed sales window for the Arknights Hypergryph x 8BitDo Retro87 Retro Mechanical Keyboard and sets a hard cutoff on availability if the companies hold to the no-restock claim.

The product appears across multiple listings under the exact model name “Arknights Hypergryph x 8BitDo Retro87 Retro Mechanical Keyboard,” while at least one reseller listing at GenshinWhales lists a variant titled “Arknights x 8BitDo Year of the Horse 2026 Chinese New Year Limited Edition Retro Mechanical Keyboard Gift Set Preorder,” including multiple gallery images indicated by repeated “Load image into Gallery viewer” placeholders. Those reseller listings suggest collectors may encounter variant naming in third-party channels.

A pre-sale seller listing carries a cluster of logistical claims that conflict in timing and sourcing with the official final-preorder message. The seller states, “The keyboard is expected to ship before February 12th.” That same listing warns, “Until the official stock is replenished, I can only source it from scalpers in the Chinese market, whose markups are now very low,” and adds, “The keyboard is guaranteed to be brand new and unopened, as it was sent directly to the logistics provider's warehouse after the shipping address was changed from the official flagship store.” The seller also flagged weight and cost: “The keyboard alone is over 1kg, so I figure the whole package will be about 2kg,” and cautioned, “Shipping this is gonna cost a lot. If the actual shipping cost ends up being more than I thought, I’ll need to ask for extra shipping fees later.” That listing explicitly notes that “some details might be inaccurate as they were translated by AI.”

Community chatter has amplified interest ahead of the March preorder window. Multiple r/arknights threads repeat the title “Hypergryph x 8BitDo collab keyboard set,” and scraped page text includes the fragment, “The announcement has sparked significant buzz in ga,” indicating active discussion even where the capture is truncated. Aggregator pages labeled Arknightshipship also repeat the full product title several times, underscoring how widely the collab name has been circulated.

Key technical and commercial details remain unconfirmed in public listings: MSRP, switch type, keycap material, connectivity, exact dimensions (the reseller listing shows “Keyboard Dimensions & Weight [...]”), production run size, and whether the GenshinWhales “Year of the Horse 2026” label is an official limited-edition variant. The inconsistency between a seller claiming a February 12 shipping expectation and the confirmed March 2-4 final preorder window is the clearest unresolved point. Until 8BitDo or Hypergryph provides official specs, pricing, and a restock clarification, March 2-4 stands as the stated final official opportunity to buy the Retro87 collab on 8BitDo’s online store.
