Calls it SNES, but uses Playstation novelties/modifiers?

Due the colour of the arrow keys and grey colour. I'm getting more of a PS1 feeling from it.

Looks great.

But a K2 has 6 rows. I'm now writing this comment on a K2. Your keyboard has only 5 rows. How come?

Whoops, I was thinking of one of my other keyboards. Yes, K6

This looks nice. It somehow reminds me of a Teenage Engineering product.

I see we're going with the SFC/PAL color scheme. Looks great!

No argument here. The colorful scheme is objectively better, but as an American, the purple one is more nostalgic.

Yeah, I grew up with the PAL SNES, and then got an imported Super Famicom. The first time I saw the US SNES was a real WTF moment.

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From my perspective seeing the Super Famicom for the first time: "WTF, Japan really does get all the best shit!"

[–] richyawyingtmv@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Ha, well we had the same design in the UK as Japan. So did everywhere else, apart from the USA.

A relative bought back a Japanese Super Famicom after being there for a bit along with a shedload of games. We had a UK power supply for it (worked with my UK mega drive AC adapter) and it worked with our UK 20" Sony CRT (pal, but supported NTSC). We used an RGB scart cable, so I was living the dream of full speed 60hz RGB in the UK back in the 90s. Dreamland

That is so clean. What switches is on it?
