I love the idea, but I wanted it to be used on a real mechanical keyboard.  Like a modern Atari 800 version.  And ergonomic.  Ya ya, I know.

 

Speaking of the original Atari 800 keyboard, does anyone know what font is used for those keys?

I was using a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard trackpad, but the colour scheme bothered me with the VCS.
I subsequently bought this, which is perfect, and only lacks an Atari logo. 🙂 
(It's wireless via USB dongle, so it works with the BIOS and other operating systems.)

Yes, perfectly. It's a standard keyboard and trackpad (which works like a mouse), so works with everything.

Oh great. I've had the unfortunate displeasure of going out and buying a logitech K850 bluetooth/USB dongle keyboard for the VCS and the darn thing doesn't work...

Bluetooth will be trickier because it won't be recognized by the bios before the OS boots, and then you need to pair it.   But any wireless USB keyboard (that follows the USB keyboard standard) should work.

All the more annoying when it doesn't work...
