Rii 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard with… vs 8BitDo Lite 2 Bluetooth Gamepad for Switch — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict first, then the specs side by side.

Our verdict

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

For Raspberry Pi and HTPC builders in 2026, the Rii Mini Wireless Keyboard wins.

Buy the Rii 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Keyboard if you need a single handheld device to set up, administer, and navigate a Raspberry Pi, HTPC, or Android TV box — anything involving a terminal, a browser, or a cursor. Buy the 8BitDo Lite 2 Bluetooth Gamepad if your Pi is already configured and its only remaining job is running RetroPie/Lakka/EmulationStation, or if you also own a Switch or Switch Lite and want one controller covering both.
