Quite excited for this review; we take a look at the 8BitDo keyboard! With the new Kailh Box White v2 switches in it, no less. Next week I'll be putting out a TDXL video of this board with Clickiez in it, that should be good too ^^ . Hope you like the video!

Ars Technica has reviewed a Commodore-themed one. (They even linked to a YT video of Chyros reviewing an original C64 keyboard in the article)
This model explains why the shape of the power-LED was shaped like the C64's on the NES-themed keyboard: it was planned all along but with they didn't want to make multiple case styles.
Same layout and features. Different colourway and sticker. No PETSCII legends

Even AT misspelt my nickname, all three times even. I think I see it misspelt more often in the comments than spelt correctly xD . What is it about "Chyrosran" that's so difficult to read?! xDFindecanor wrote: 29 Mar 2024, 19:59 Ars Technica has reviewed a Commodore-themed one.

But but but, it isn't? xDtactica wrote: 30 Mar 2024, 01:50 They shortened the article (it used to span 2 pages) and it is correct now.
"The keyboard enthusiast known as Chryosran22 on YouTube shared a video examining a Commodore 64 keyboard's switches, which included external coil springs and used a PCB. He described the switches as leaning toward "stiff and scratchy" but feeling better than some other keyboards from that time period. Chryosran22 added that the keys had a "strange sensation just before bottoming out. Right before the end, the spring puts up quite a bit of resistance, which gives the key feel a rather unique twist to it. It's almost as if it's really, really mushy—without being mushy."
"There's no rubber in there, but it feels like the last bit is made up of chewing gum or something," Chryosran22 said in his video."
