8bitdo made a Commodore 64 variant of their keyboard (shop.8bitdo.com)

The 8bitdo keyboard has been pretty well-received as a ~$100 wireless keyboard with ABS keycaps. I love the way this C64 color scheme looks.

I have an 8bitdo arcade stick, which looks like it uses the same knob as this keyboard for selecting the wireless mode. I love the way it feels every time I turn it on.

Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't use QMK -- it uses their own mapping software, which is Windows only. This makes it a non-starter for me, since I rarely use a Windows computer these days. But I just might have to copy that color scheme for my next build.

I wonder how the keycaps will compare to SA Retro.
