I would have use an usb keyboard circuitry instead but that wouldn’t be such an hardaware-hacker keyboard.

Must try this with my MSX or ZX one.

C64 laptop was produced back in the 80s.

SX-64. Natch.

SX64 is not exactly what you would call a laptop…

Or you could just buy the Keyrah 8-bit :) It does keyboard and more.

I have two of those, one in a breadbin. The other just in case the motherboard in one of my other C64s go dead.

This is from december 2007. Spiff has a few other cool things on his website though.

Same thing is “keyrah” by Individual Computers. It also can handle C16, plus/4, C128 and Amiga 500/600 as a USB keyboard … since 2005.

I have no idea why my comment never reached the board, though i’ve posted it 6 times now.. .. but:

At
http://www.sociallife.org/data/projects/c64key/
i’m hosting some PCB-files (and Bill-of-materials, etc) that I made with Eagle (just SVG/PDF/PNG at the moment, sorry), that fit this project.
The files should be self-explanatory; so knock yourself out.
PCB credit me, the rest (schematic, code, etc) entirely credited to the amazing Spiff!

The keyrah is handy, but can also be made smaller to fit in the old Micronik keyboard case:
