What does this do, and why 3? I have never played a C64 in my life anyway.

Similar to SEGA, Nintendo, NEC and Sony: Commodore threw the C64 into the mini console arena. The console is great, but... the keyboard is one solid piece of plastic. A gentleman over on reddit has designed a fix to convert the single piece of plastic into an actual working keyboard: an angle grinder (following pictures are not mine... yet..)
I kid. For real though, the modification is to enable a fully working keyboard on the mini console. Love the idea, had to purchase it.
You are not a true collector if you don't purchase in three.
1) To use
2) For a backup
3) To never open

I knew what the C64 mini was, just not that keyboard. That's pretty cool! Love stuff like that. I want to figure out a way to make a "working" Sega CD and 32X for the Genesis mini. If I had nostalgia for the C64, I'd get a mini.

I only have 2 copies of each Amiibo... well I do have those fake card versions as well.
So I think I'm close enough to a real collector. 8)
