Does this work with GameBoy/GameBoy Color/GameBoy Advanced? Does this act as a keyboard by using normal keyboard signals?

It doesn't work. Period. It doesn't come with a driver, Windows 7 and 8 can't find a driver, and I couldn't find one with Google. Tried several genetic drivers too, nothing worked.

No. It doesn't work at all. Doesn't ship with a driver, windows 7 and 8 cannot find a driver, and i couldn't find one on google that would work. It's nothing but a paperweight.

Not as far as I know. What device are you using it with (a PC, tablet, phone)? It works natively when I use it. You can try unplugging it and powering off device, then restart the device and then plug it back in, making sure not to press any buttons while doing this. Hopefully it won't act funky after this. I'll suggest the obvious and say that you can also try pressing the blue "FN" key on the bottom left to activate/deactivate the designated alternate key functions, then try pressing the space bar and see if that works.

Yup works just fine. The usb dongle registers as a usb audio device. Works with the latest versions of Alsa. kernel version 2.6.16 and up seems fine. (Somewhere along the lines 2.6 starting including alsa and deprecating oss) The dongle registers both as a keyboard and a usb audio device. The play/pause, stop and forward/backward buttons produce keyboard events. I'm sure they can be mapped with xmodmap, and a little glue from your window manager. The volume and mute buttons are not forwarded to the pc, They work locally on the 'receiver'.

As far as I know, the LCD serves only to show computer functions, principally keyboard functions within games. It's not a mini-monitor to the outside world. I'll know the answer for sure when Logitech gets around to sending me a replacement keyboard for the defective one I bought.

No it's a game boy advance title. Be sure to check out the game cartridge as well make sure it is not a fake

Yes. It works with every emulator with input configuration. It works through bluetooth and a gametel app. This allows a dedicated connection. The controller does actually work via keyboard use. So when choosing it as an input option, you will have to change the input back to your preferred keyboard for it to let you type.Great controller for any game that doesn't need analog sticks. Hope I helped.

I guess I should be more specific. Anyone find a KVM that will allow this keyboard to light up? It will work as a standard non-lit keyboard with any KVM but no backlight and what good is that?

I'm using this with RetroPIE on my Raspberry Pi. Everything works great other than really bad design on the configuration settings in RetroArch (they assume you're using a 360 gamepad. I have no idea what the basis of such a dumb assumption is, but there you have it. It takes a bit of figuring out on the initial setup since you have to mentally remap buttons essentially.)

Hot and miss. The instructions say it can. In game it works most of the time, but now and then it throws a finger at me. Tried window mode with CS Go and it worked for about an hour, then acted like it does in full screen mode. It wouldn't have been a deal breaker because it worked better then the previous keyboard, but the in-game keyboard glitches were enough for me to send it back.

It depends on the platform. I have used it on Windows with all my old school stuff (8 bit, 16 bit, Nes, Sms, GB, Snes, tg16,) and it seems to work pretty good. I have not tried it with new gen stuff because- no analogue stick.

I used it with a Keytronics keyboard and it worked just fine. I have since purchased a new keyboard.

huh? why not? Does the fn key not work on your keyboard? Im sure that you can use your keyboard to set up the game and then use the Nostromo to game. The device is not a direct replacement of the keyboard, as im sure you know.

It works on Game Boy Color Handhelds but not the games. I am not sure about Wii.

Yes, it works with anything with a gba slot (original, sp and micro even) I would check for use on ds but it should be the same, last time it worked for me.

It appears t only emulate an English keyboard. But if you use an English keyboard now, it should work I would think.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

This devices requires an RGB input through scart. The NES doesn't natively support RGB or SCART...so no.
