Best Mini Keyboard for MiSTer FPGA

Unread post by Captain FPGA »

Someone asked me to pick out a gift for myself, I'm tired of using my bulky keyboard. Looking for something more compact but still decent. It doesn't need to be ridiculously small, can't have a microscopic F12 key. Didn't Mister addons used to have mini keyboards? Just checked that sight couldn't find any. If I could find something that's backlit that'll be ideal. :D

I have one of these and I liked it a lot, but I ended up getting one of these too:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07STY21PS

Unfortunately it mustn't have sold well since it's out of stock :(
The gamepad is mediocre, but works well enough try something quickly without reaching to your proper controller.

The caveat of both of these is that they don't have PrtScr mapped.
There are some newer Rii models (without the scroll wheel) on Amazon US that do have it, though.

Logitech K400 is awesome too, but perhaps a bit too big for you?
