Yes, as I recall, it took a *lot* of getting used to, and never was great. However, the keyboard was /massively/ better than the rubber-key Spectrum, famously one of the worst keyboards ever made. Which is why I'm mystified that people are now painstakingly recreating the thing. You can buy a Bluetooth version now: http://sinclair.recreatedzxspectrum.com/ And a cut-down miniaturised one with an ARM-based emulator inside: http://retro-computers.co.uk/ -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: [email protected] • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR)
