Yes, it a very nice "high quality" keyboard with mechanical Cherry MX switches. We tested different switch types (clicky and silent types, i.e. MX red, black and blue). The type feeling is outstanding - You will never use another keyboard for Your Zeddy

Re: ZX81 External Keyboard
Naive question perhaps? Can the keyboard be attached to the internal headers for easier use in a new case rather than via the expansion port/board? It’d make a great keyboard for an enclosure for an “all in one” system.
Re: ZX81 External Keyboard
Sure, no problem. It's compatible.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.
Re: ZX81 External Keyboard
As Paul already said, yes. It is an plug and play replacement for the origininal membrane keyboard. No additional electronics needed.
We will offer a nice cable set:
The external / edge connector interface solution is only for users who do not want to open the ZX81.
