May be another version is clone/fake. I don't see why they should change the API.

No. Both are legitimate. You can google K400r and see pictures of both revisions

May be it's just matter of different PID, so after adding it in kernel it will work as original version.

I'm planning to build my MiSTer into an arcade cabinet and realised that completely keyboard free operation was going to be difficult so I decided to make a keyboard with just the most frequently used keys needed to navigate the MiSTer menus.

I picked the Polyandry keypad from 40percent.club and created a custom key map for MiSTer using QMK firmware.

The keycaps are what I had spare from an old broken keyboard so are a little bit cryptic. The top six are reboot, user button, F12, 5, space and Alt+F12. The bottom six keys are arrows, escape (Delete), and enter (PgDn).

These 12 keys will hopefully cover most normal usage when loading cores, navigating menus and setting up controllers etc.

Cool! I've been wanting to make a mini keyboard like this; I'm waiting for a small keypad and custom keycaps to try it out, will post once it gets here (could be weeks to post from China...)

I have the Rii i4.
I mapped the "Home" button to osd, the "Menu" button to bluetooth pairing and the "back" button to esc so I only need to use the keys on the top half for navigating.

This is excellent, didn't realize it was an option. Will have to look into this for sure.

You can almost have the same thing. https://www.pckeyboard.com/
Unicomp are the ones who have the old IBM patent which they bought from Lexmark who in turn got it from IBM when they speareted.
There are some changes like windows key spacesaver with much less plastic overhang on top and left/right, usb or p/s2 cable.

They ship fast and answer emails fast ordered mine spacesaver 2011/12/21 (as in 21 dec learn to write dates right damn US :) ).
It was made and shipped 22 got it here 27 and most of the time it was in sweden.
And it is what i use for the mister the few times i need a keyboard.
Would use it for my daily/gaming pc but the model M have only 2 key rollover which is bad in games and it is because how the big backing membrane (with all connections) is made.

This crap thing. Worked ok for about a week then the C, D and E keys stopped working. Apart from that it's fine. No good if your playing say Lemmings on the Amiga and the level password code contains one of those letters then I'm screwed :lol:

I'm using XPG SUMMONER Cherry MX Red. It looks pretty dope. The keyboard has a special soft pad for the hands, which can be removed if necessary.
