You can use it as a Bluetooth keyboard for your real computer. Man that sure is some nostalgia masochism right there.

- cssmoo 12y agoYes. Horrible keyboard. As in really bad. Having used my cousin's ZX, I was glad I was brought up on Acorn kit..
- protomyth 12y agoWell, it was better than the Atari 400 I learned to program on. I dearly wish I could have bought a replacement keyboard like the Sinclair folks could.
- cssmoo 12y agoI just googled one of those and my word that's a mile more horrible! I'd rather have used a typewriter than one of those ones.
- protomyth 12y agoIt was cheap and had Jay Miner's chips in it. It was my road to programming, but I do agree, typing was a major hassle. I later had some problems with my fingertips.
- scholia 12y agoIt didn't think it was all that bad, and you could easily wipe it down. Given the ease of cartridge loading games, it was a great machine for toddlers..... ;-)
- honestcoyote 12y agoYou could. There was a keyboard kit for the 400 and I remember it being decent. But the kit may not have been very well known.
- protomyth 12y agoIf it wasn't advertised in Antic, Byte, Creative Computing, or Dr. Dobbs then I wouldn't of heard about it.
- Someone 12y agoThey should have put the Bluetooth dongle in a fake memory expansion cartridge that wiggled loose over time, and have their iOS app restart when it loses connection with the keyboard. That would be masochism :-)
