USB keyboard for 400 Mini

[+LS650]

Currently I'm using a spare full-size keyboard with my 400 Mini, but it looks gigantic in comparison and takes up a lot of unnecessary space on the coffee table.

Anyone want to recommend a more compact USB keyboard that I can order through Amazon or whatever?

This is what I use and seems to work well:

The mini USB keyboard I use was purchased nearly 20 years ago and I don’t even know if the company still exists: A4 Tech model KL5UP.

 

i will note that my keyboard has a power button and the 400Mini will turn off when I press it - doesn’t come on though 🤷‍♂️

I use this micro keyboard with my gaming PC.  It has a 2.4g USB dongle so it's wireless but recognized as USB.  It has a mouse trackpad as well.  I think it's great.

This is definitely in the "whatever else" category, but I spent the last few weeks building a virtual keyboard that runs on my tablet and a Raspberry Pi. (The Pi plugs into the 400's USB port, and publishes a web page that emulates the keyboard)

It's a lot of work, but I have a keyboard that looks and acts like a real Atari 400 keyboard. With just as much key travel.

I got a SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL keyboard.  It's very nice for typing on so I use it with my work laptop as well.

I got this one:

but it's hard to recommend because it's almost too small. Fine for single key entries for starting a game, but hard to type on.
