I'll give credit for the retro case with a MODERN keyboard layout. It is amazing how retarded those cursor keys were back in the 80's. $300 is steep for a case... but try keyboard mapping an old rolloverless original keyboard... it is a major project in itself. An a standard port backplane space is pre-cut. Another PITA to do via retro modding.

Agreed, keyboards are a massive bastard when doing retro mods, but I have seen for sale usb adaptors specially made for C64 and amiga keyboards.

Seeing these for sale has killed all my enthusiasm for modding my C64. I may just keep it in its box forever now.
