I love mine tbh. Every time I look at it I get a big smile on my face.

Wish the macro pad was just 3.5 to 3.5 or usb-c to usb-c! Exactly the same but with more options

[upendrameena]

IMO the large buttons are designed to be used at a distance hence the long cable. So asking for a 15cm cable will cut off many users who prefer to use it as gaming pads from a distance.

A retro setup is supposed to be messy. There were no "hiding cables" back in the day. If you keep a clean table, you are missing out on the retro experience!

I love the new commodore 64 version of this keyboard

[CaptainRex]

They went on sale so I bought one this morning it’s coming later today I’m so excited

[dannyphantom]

I got the IBM Model M version, my wife and I just deep cleaned out room and rearranged the whole thing. I woke up this morning and saw my keyboard on the desk and was just so happy.

I just got the same keyboard. My only issue is the US glyphs. Im sticking with the UK layout and can't find any replacement caps that match to change them. Small note, those red buttons (the chonky ones), you should try playing time crysis and using them as foot pedals :D

[donpham]

The real question is assassin's cowl or liars handshake?

[MelonBoi]

Honestly if I ever have unnecessary cables clogging up my desk what my solution would be is to just loop them around behind the stand of my screen and use that to keep them mostly straight and looking professional.

finally someone did a review where the reviewer used the actual keyboard and used it for gaming.
Mine is coming in a few days so excited about it.

I think that extra macro keys are meant for the feet? IDK I think it's more efficient that way.

[williamgavincooper]

Great review. Just curious if this also works with the PS5? Wired, dongle or bluetooth?

[Dryde]

I never thought a keyboard would have me fall in love until i met this one. It is s-tier. The greatest.

[sneescampers]

the perfect solution is face your demons get over the phycological issues and use the buttons, this will probably start you hyperventilating but i got the C64 version because my first computer was a vic20 and the 2nd a C64. i regularly use the stick and the double smash buttons along with mouse and HOTAS plus i have two of the abxy supers.
i like the cable length so i can arrange the keyboard mouse HOTAS and supers to suit different uses, all of that has cables. cables everywhere hahaha !

[boredcare]

What are the B and A buttons on the keyboard for?

[valarmorghulis]

How long does the battery on this thing last? I haven't charged mine since I got it a month ago. It says 8 days. Well maybe I don't use it for 24 hours

[darthbull]

The fact that you're playing Destiny 2 on this sold me. LOL.

[mimovk]

Have you tested if it works on a Mac/Linux? 🤔

[animania]

i cant seem to use the buttons for mouse click lol

[Lalaig]

I can connect it with macbook pro via bleutooth?
