[Closed] Retrotastic Spectrum Kickstarter

Very retro but that was the worst keyboard in the history of IT.

Great in a retro way, but as an input device totally useless!

pffft, the speccie keyboard was far superior to the ZX81!

I know a bluetooth version of that casio watch that you could type on?

Part of me think that's really cool... but most of me thinks let bygones be bygones!

That's awesome. But for 50 quid I can get a real one on fleabay.

Definitely wins style points;

Probably the next big thing after Apple becomes passe

I've still got a 48k Spectrum, can't remember the last time I used it.

At least the screen didn't blink when you pressed a key on the ZX81. Unlike the ZX80 which couldn't multitask. I liked the Oric-1's keyboard. Each key was like a Wrigley's Extra with an extra big one for the space bar.

...of for a BBC Micro keyboard!

This fills me with much nostalgia.

Could be extremely good - touchscreens just doesn't work well for most spectrum games from the archive. You need the rubber keys to really get monty mole moving.

http://www.retrode.org/ looked interesting - saves the hassle of illegal ROMs afaict.

I'm halfway through building a spectrum again using a spectrum +2 case/keyboard but with a Raspberry Pi and emulator inside. Don't ask why it's completely pointless but at least it will connect to a modern TV and not require the hours and hours of tape recorder hell.

Oh, a friend of mine has just offered me a mint Apple ii with dual drives, monitors and manual if I want it.....
