Is it possible to design a teeny WORKING keyboard for the Commodore PET/Educator 64 Mini? Will it work without tiny hands? Can furry paws solder one?!

This was brilliant! I have soldered those momentary switches before and have made a mess of myself doing so. I need a LOT more practice. You are becoming the maker of the mini-Commodores now. Hmmm.... Micro Commodores... What a fantastic time to be alive as a vintage tech enthusiast. What is old is new and becoming more relevant as each day goes by. Thank you for the fantastic inspiration!

Great episode! It does make you wonder though what the next breakthrough step is going to be when practially all functionality can be brought down to sillicon spanning just a few millimetres squared while user interfaces by necessity still have to be large enough to be viewed and manipulated by eyes and hands...
