The C64 Mini Computer

I'd be a lot more likely to get it if it wasn't half-sized, actually. Gotta be impossible to type on that keyboard.

From the "About" page:

I'm going to assume that keyboard is non-functional but I'd happy to be wrong about that.

Sounds like it. From the About page:

>As befits a home computer you can also plug in a standard USB PC keyboard and use as a classic C64 to type in those old BASIC computer listings or program new games.

It doesn't seem like they'd phrase it that way unless you were required to plug in a USB keyboard in order to type.

Yeah, I don't see how "mini" is such a compelling feature that you need to plug in a USB keyboard to use it.
