What are the Menu Keys on the Keyboard ----------------------------------------------- All theses keys work on all 3 machines.
Up = U Down = J Left = H Right = K
You can start a game with RETURN Key(but the Carousel might think you want to use the keyboard as the joystick) or Fire on the Joystick so you can use a DB9 Adapter and don't need to use a joystick with loads of buttons, it works fine with just 2 fire Buttons and the keyboard..
G and L keys and RETURN can be used too like the Fire button.
The four buttons on the back THEC64 Joystick on THEC64 Keyboard. A = A B = B C = C Menu = Power Button - it acts like the Menu button on the THEC64 Joystick, you just press it once in a game and the pause menu will come up, if you press and hold it for about 3 seconds then THEC64 Mini/Maxi/VIC 20 will shutdown.
Menu = SHIFT-M acts like the Menu button too, it only works if a game is running.

Hello,
I am using the C64 Mini and I noticed that the keyboard joystick functions work, U, J, H, K etc. However, the menu key combo when in game of shift M does not do anything (menu does not come up). Also when pressing the power button quickly, the mini shuts down immediately (I get the shutting down message). I don’t have to hold the power down to cause a shutdown command to be done. The problem with this is that I always have to have the c64 joystick that came with the mini plugged in at all times so I have access to the menu when playing games as there is no other button or way to bring up the menu without the original joystick connected. This means I can’t play two player games with other joysticks or game pads and be able to save progress etc. I am using the 142 firmware with the Canada/USA 64 mini.
Thoughts? Anyone else have the same experience?
Thanks!

So I found that SHIFT ~ does the trick after reading the virtual joystick section on the c64 website. Thanks!
