I guess this is so that it can interact with the web app (and tablet apps) very easily. The game mode is interesting - and uses a unique printable character for each of the keys. Additionally SYMBOL-SHIFT Q, W, E generate two keys (most of the time) rather than SYMBOL-W key-combos - obviously. ZXSP does work with QWERTY mode, but because the two shift keys are overloaded in QWERTY mode, I don’t think this is going to be ideal for Spectrum games. (But see - although I wonder if it’s accurate - see below).

The Full User Guide has some information about the two modes - game and QWERTY - but not enough to really code for it. It works ok in this QWERTY mode, but it’s not as good as it could be. It’s a pity, but not entirely surprising. Unlocking QWERTY mode will be a problem for this keyboard without the App but there is an easy way to run the Javascript to fix this stupid locked mode. Sadly the tablet and web app has been taken offline but I knew this before I bought it … It would be wonderful for it to be properly supported under ZXSP in the game mode :-) SUMMARY: ZXSP does work with QWERTY mode (Layer B) once unlocked, but really requires support for Game Mode (Layer A) I’ve got one of these - bought it from Amazon for £50 (The price fluctuates a lot).
