Now available for pre-ordering apparently
It is basically a keyboard you can connect to anything wireless

Looks nice, but a bit on the expensive side for a simple rubber Bluetooth keyboard.
I rather use the real thing

Would have been nice if it was the complete thing except output to HDMI

It is a real missed opportunity unfortunately - it is being marketed as the relaunch of the ZX Spectrum or even on Argos as 'The ZX Spectrum Keyboard' - I think there will be many disappointed people out there when they buy (or get given) one of these to realise that it can only (a) play games currently sold by Elite as an iOS or Google App (even worse as those apps were withdrawn last year when it transpired Elite had not been paying any royalties), or (b) be used as a bluetooth keyboard.
Oddly Argos are already listing it at £20 cheaper than ebuyer!

I think the bigger disappointment from my point of view was that despite talking with Elite, I could not get them interested in allowing me to purchase some of the parts for re-sale to original Speccy users (ie the rubber keyboard mat and faceplates) - I ended up doing the faceplates myself, so Elite then had to re-invent the wheel and still have no interest in supporting the original Speccy users...

Well, from the aesthetical point of view, it's marvelous
