Testing begins.

I may need to sell some Three-Dee printed fingermajiggy-minimiser attachments for ones phalanges!

My fingers, which are relatively svelte for a bloke in his mid 40’s have trouble not mashing several keys simultaneously;-)

My repeated mashing of the tiny keys gloriously results in mis-spelled or even incomprehensible gibberish, thanks to those n-key rollover diodes !

You’re gonna struggle to QA O&P on your keyboard input platformers, it’ll be more like 1QWTABCAPS and I think the buffer runs out there!

Wooooooo

I know There’s supposed to be two colours for the keycaps, I however got too excited and stuck the enter key on…..

Which is a one way journey, once on, They’re not coming off again without removing the switch underneath.

So, behold! The Beige monstrosity

(Complete with working caps lock key!!)

    1. Without a working keyboard the C64 mini just felt like toy.

      When I got your first version of the working keyboard it transformed the C64 mini into something special, a fully working Commodore 64 but small and the way it should have been on release. I don’t care that I have to be careful when typing because its not about how good it types its that it types at all.

      The Amiga mini feels the same (at least to me) and without a working keyboard it is simple unfinished.

      I cannot wait for this fantastic project to be available. Cheers

  1. Thank you for your lots of information and news.Personally, I don’t think anyone seriously wants to write complete programs using the small keyboard on the Thec64 mini or TheA500mini.You’re more likely to want to be able to type in commands or just press individual keys in games.This is just a note for your further developmentgreetings joerg
