Does it use an on screen keyboard?

I thought I read that they were changing it to have more keys.

[Antiriad2097]

Those four little buttons under the main keys are new.

If you look at the old Indiegogo page there's a short video showing the change:

I'm actually interested in the Vega now after listening to those interviews, nice to see they're properly licensing the games afte rthe Elite debacle.

Gotten behind on the shows but looking forward to this Swainy! Think Kevin Toms is the reason I am a football stat nerd.

[Swainy]

It's a very interesting interview & im not even a big football fan

[Treguard]

The stuff about Software Star was the best bit, wonder how sardonic Kevin was being when he said it was possible to get a game to sell more with hype than honesty?
