The Neo6502kbd is a new open-source hardware variant of the Neo6502, now integrating a keyboard into a single compact body. It features a real 6502 processor capable of emulating the Apple ][ and Oric Atmos, allowing users to play classic titles like Karateka, Lode Runner, and Cross Fire on modern DVI or HDMI screens. Beyond gaming, it serves as a development platform supporting CP/M, Pro DOS, BASIC, Pascal, C, Assembler, and Forth.

The device packs extensive connectivity into its keyboard chassis, including four USB hosts, a UEXT connector for Wi-Fi expansion, and a USB-C port for power and programming. This all-in-one design eliminates the need for separate components, offering a plug-and-play experience for retro computing enthusiasts. The project revives the nostalgia of 8-bit computing while providing modern usability through its integrated keyboard form factor and comprehensive software suite.
