Post by RJBowman »

Does anyone sell a Vic-20 style keyboard that I can plug into my PC for use with an emulator?

Best solution would be to directly connect a real VIC keyboard through a Keyrah inside the empty shell.

Apparantly the keyboards of "THE C64" or "THE VIC-20" are just USB-keyboards internally. So theoretically you should be able to connect these as USB-keyboards to any PC and use them in an emulator. Essentially "THE C64" is running an emulator anyways (VICE 2.4 I think).
