A few FAQ's in the thread:
- keys are loud. If you share an office space, reconsider.
- works fine with macOS using bluetooth or the dongle. I use the dongle since they seem to overall be more reliable and allow me to get some KVM-esque switching off my thunderbolt hub. Go into system settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Modifier keys and you can change the meta/⌘ and option keys around to be more Apple style. I also move the A and B keycaps to the two ⌘ keys for additional aesthetics.
- Super buttons are very easy to program: push the star button on the keyboard (middle of the three buttons in the top left), press a key, press the button you want to assign that key to. I mostly use them when playing games with my kids to map jump/shoot so I can still mostly drive but they can do some things. I've also used them as a makeshift pedals for a driving rig for Truck Simulator. I don't keep them on my desk, just pull them off the shelf where they're displayed when I need them.
MSRP is $100 on the three color ways (c64 is $10 more because it includes the joystick). I paid $90 for this M Edition a week ago. They also just released a wireless 10-key NES edition that you might consider. Keep in mind the matching numpad/calculator magnetically attaches to the right side of the keyboard. The NES edition shows up on sale all the time. 8BitDo just released a new transparent green Xbox licensed keyboard (and mouse) so it does seem like they'll probably keep churning out color ways but they're done well enough I'm actually looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

One thing I'll note for the C64 version in particular, the dished shape of the key caps is cool and period-correct, but makes it very easy to hit a wrong key. Especially because the keypress is so light to begin with, I'm making a ton of typos.
It might get better as I rebuild muscle memory, but at least for now it's driving me insane and making me want to throw this thing out the window. It doesn't help that there aren't tactile markers on the F and J keys to guide your hands without looking.

Edit: If you watch the chyrosran22 video reviewing the later editions, he does a demo of the magnet feature and what to expect out of it.
But for people if numeric keys doesn't matter to you, this is a steal.
One thing, Bluetooth seems to be unstable. Not sure, maybe something needs to be updated
ill pass
