USB Keyboards

  SWSt

   Got my C64 Mini yesterday and love it (except for the joystick which
   reminds me of the old Atari joystick that really hurt your hands after
   more than about 30 minutes playing!)

   Anyway, given the issues people have reported getting various USB devices
   to work, I was wondering whether anyone can recommend a USB keyboard that
   will definitely work with the C64 Mini? I'm looking to get one and since
   it will mainly be used with this, don't want to waste my money on one that
   I don't know for certain works.

   If you don't mind having a normal size keyboard, (with number pad) then
   the Logitech MK120 works fine with the Mini. There are two versions, just
   the keyboard or one with a basic mouse added. Check Argos and PC World,
   any online images you should see a bit of the cord showing at the back of
   the keyboard to show it has one.
   Just the keyboard is about £6-£7, with mouse £10-£15.

   Just in case you don't know, Monty on the Run, if you press the key "R" on
   the title screen you can remap the keyboard controls. [2];)

   The USB support at this time looks to be USB3 only for memory sticks.
   Classic SD cards that are either Normal size or Small with an adapter do
   work.

   I bought [3]this, not cheap but works beautifully. You can plug two
   joysticks into it too [4]:)

   Great - thanks for all your help! I'll take a look at those. If anyone
   else has any more recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

   I use a Microsoft 850 wireless which works great, too.
