sku_u Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 That's a nice grab. Does it function like two of the 2600 keypads together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Yep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I wonder how well it works with a Sythcart? I agree with Paul that the Atari Touch pads are the best of the three. All right, I haven't tried the Kid Controllers and don't plan on it. The only thing about the Touch Pads that I don't like is that the keys aren't raised. What type of feel do the keys have? Lots of give? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Yes, they are raised and make a moderate clicking noise when pressed. * Waits for Marco to appear to tell me that his is new in the box * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hey, a Brazilian VCS keyboard! Dynacom was going to release a full keyboard, probably a Spectravideo clone, but ended releasing that instead. Two others Brazilian companies released Compumate clones: Milmar (Dactarcomp) and some other which I don't remember the name now...

Nukey Shay Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I didn't recall Basic Programming to be so popular that it warrented a third-party keyboard for it There's only so much you can do with 63 bytes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I'd love to see pictures like this added to the Atari Age database. Brazil was really a hotbed of unique 2600 items and one of the last pieces of Atari history to be properly documented! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I didn't recall Basic Programming to be so popular that it warrented a third-party keyboard for it There's only so much you can do with 63 bytes But look at the bigger picture... It's perfect for full-contact Brain Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I wonder how well it works with a Synthcart? It would definitely be nice for Synthcart to have a single unit to control it... although I can tell just by looking at this thing that those buttons wouldn't provide a good tactile experience! I agree that the buttons on the Video Touch Pad feel the best for playing the Synthcart, but I still prefer the original keyboard controllers, because you can lock them together!

Marco Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I knew it. I have one of those square consoles that goes with the Dynacom keyboard for trade, if you're interested :wink: Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Except, that I ever only once had something you didn't. LOL Got a pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Check the picture of the Dynacom keyboard box. Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 thats damn cool. I hope I find one one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 That thing looks rather cheesy to me. Too bad it isn't like a 24-key version of the Video Touch Pad controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
