    Other than the form factor, why is this needed?

    Having labeled dedicated run/stop, F1, F3 and F5 keys is a huge lifestyle update for certain C64 games.

    The C64 keyboard was literally built in and so always present, so some game devs gave no thought to how their game would function without a keyboard

    Edit: I’m not saying that’s worth the price, of course!

    But I think it’s cool. If I had million million wishes, I would spend one on this device.
