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.

Keyboard to it so I can use them on my MacBook when I work from home
Will it completely ignore it or is it just a lack of Mac keys like the command key. I currently remap them to ctrl anyway.
