What we have here is basically a bluetooth keyboard designed to look like the original Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It is indeed an excellent replica of the iconic computer, complete with squishy rubber keys. This keyboard is switchable between 2 functions: 1 - a bluetooth keyboard for your computer, tablet, phone or console. 2 - a Spectrum games keyboard. In its role as a Spectrum games keyboard it should be noted that no actual games are supplied with the unit. Originally there was a free app for IOS and Android devices which included a selection of games. Due to licensing issues this app has now been removed from app stores. Individual Spectrum games have since appeared in the app stores, but these must be purchased individually. I was lucky enough to download the free app while it was available, and playing those old games with this keyboard is a real slice of retro heaven. Another way of playing the old games is to run a Spectrum emulator on your computer, and use this as your controller. I am extremely happy with my purchase, but I was aware from the start that this is NOT a games console, but merely a bluetooth keyboard made to look and feel like a piece of iconic tech history.Read full review

Although there were some (legal) issues about the app for this game console in the past year! Now that they've been able to solve that (see press release on their site) it's truly a must have for old time 8bit gamers and programmers. What a great design, the look and feel alone! Play those classic games or create your own games or whatever programs with Sinclair Basic included in the app! Greetings from The Netherlands Cheers, Peter

It actually looks and feels like the original that I have stored in my attic. Easy to setup. It is more or less a keyboard and as such a portal to good old times. If it was free I would say 'thanks for taking me back in this excellent way' to the designers and to Sir Clive.

The OEM is in trouble and the software needed to work is not available making it beautiful but completely useless.
