I have a feeling that anyone actually interested in this product already has either a working Spectrum, or a dead Spectrum, a bootflashed Arduino, and a Bluetooth module in a pile of wires on their workbench.

It quickly dropped to £129, iir. That's what I paid for mine (although gutted because I missed the rubber key'd version and ended up with a Speccy + which although had some nice extra keys ah I really like that old design)
And so, will be buying.

xp, LOL yes I have a dead Speccy +
I preferred the Spectrum+. Hated the +2 and +3, although their crappy keyboards were strangely predictive of modern laptop style keyboards.

http://www.agm.me.uk/blog/2014/07/zx-keyboard.php^^^ this guy's mod doesn't have the Bluetooth module, but for a bonus he built it primarily for use with a Spectrum emulator running on a Raspberry Pi.

I'm gutted mine is dead to be honest, I was given it and hundreds of old tapes and a tape recorder. I wanted to hold a speccy night for a select group of friends but after five minutes of use the aerial connector came loose and was impossible to solder back on.
xp ha cool

My summer hols endlessly tapping away copying the code out of a library book to make a 'breakout'-style game, getting bored with that and playing Repton

The whole thing looks like a weird hoax, just the fact that no physical copy has ever been seen is a bit suspect. It looks like exactly what would happen if you could somehow send a really terrible flash game back in time and put it onto a SNES cartridge in 1997.
― Pheeel, Monday, 30 March 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link
Very 1997 shareware IMO, much more than SNES, especially the look of the digitized still images.
