You can get a great, color-accurate 5K monitor for half the price of an Apple Studio Display. | Photo by John Higgins / The Verge RAMageddon has come for computers. The price of memory chips, hard drives, and solid state storage has skyrocketed. That’s led to price increases on desktop and laptop RAM, SSDs, spinning hard drives, and pretty much everything that uses any of those things. Consoles are more expensive. Desktops are more expensive. Laptops are more expensive. Tablets and phones are more expensive. Even MacBooks, which started out expensive but then started looking like a pretty good deal, just got more expensive. All that sucks. But if (if) there’s a silver lining, it’s that most of the stuff you plug into a computer — keyboards, mice, webcams, monitors, and so forth — isn’t getting bananas expensive. Actually, there are some good deals out there. Great keyboards on the cheap 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard (Xbox Edition) This mechanical keyboard is inspired by the original Xbox, with a translucent green color scheme and two large customizable buttons. Along with Bluetooth support, it offers a standard tenkeyless layout with clicky hot-swappable Kailh Jellyfish X switches. Where to Buy: $119.99 $71.29 at Amazon $119.99 $71.99 at 8BitDo Some of 8BitDo’s other Retro87 colors are on sale too, though it looks like it depends on the day. Right now the M Edition — which has an IBM Model M vibe — is down to $67.89, from $100. The Commodore 64, Famicom, and Super Nintendo-inspired colors aren’t on much of a sale as I type this, but they were yesterday, so keep an eye out. The 8BitDo 18-key Retro number pad comes in the same color options as the keyboard. It has Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless, plus a seven-segment display that lets it work as a standalone calculator. It’s down to $35.99ish, from $45ish, at Amazon. I (Nathan) bought one yesterday. The fairly new Keychron V5 Ultra mechanical keyboard with Silk POM red linear switches is $107.99 ($12 off) at Amazo
