8BitDo C64 Reviews
I love this things
So to start with (and one of the main reasons to buy this style) the keyboard is beautiful. It absolutely matches the Commodore 64 aesthetic and looks straight out of the 80s. The included buttons and the (sort of) joystick are fun too. The software to program the peripherals is a Windows only sort of thing, but that's not really a problem. I found the software intuitive, but the less tech inclined will need to experiment a bit to get the buttons working to their liking. About the only complaint I have is that the joystick cannot be programmed to be a mouse, but that's just me being wishful. I definitely would recommend this item with one caveat: It's extremely clicky (I like this but in an office environment, people will hear this)
