Rii 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard with… vs 8BitDo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Controller for… — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

Rii 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard with… is our pick.

The Rii i8+ wins for anyone actually building a Raspberry Pi or HTPC setup, because it is the only one of the two that can type — 92 QWERTY keys plus a multi-finger touchpad versus a gamepad with zero text entry. The 8BitDo Sn30 Pro is the better device only if your Pi is a dedicated RetroPie box, and even then it is listed as currently unavailable, while the Rii ships in stock.

Buy the Rii 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard if you need to actually operate a Raspberry Pi, HTPC, Android TV box, or lab-bench machine — SSH-less config editing, browser navigation, and mouse control from the couch, all from one 15-meter 2.4GHz dongle with no drivers. Buy the 8BitDo Sn30 Pro if your box is a dedicated emulation console and you already have a keyboard for setup, since its clickable joysticks, rumble, motion controls, and classic d-pad are built for gameplay the Rii's 92 membrane keys physically cannot deliver.
