There's an open source font QTEurotype that does an excellent approximation that I've been using in a recent project
How does it feel and sound?
I wasn't around to use an actual C64 to compare the sound against that, but I suspect it's an intentional choice as a retro keyboard to mark itself apart from the foamy modern keyboards that tend to dampen the keyboard.
This saddens me, frankly.
I'm not disputing that -- the approach of the issue OP was what irked me.
Imagine being at work in a professional job and filing a bug like that to a coworker. Totally inappropriate.
Frankly, it's usually just gatekeeping (or just being threatened) hiding behind some moral system they just assume you should share with them.
"There is no RETURN, SHIFT...", "Too many F keys". They are confusing a typeface with trying to replicate the keyboard keys.
The arrows are not the cursor keys, but based on the ESC key.
They are right about the @ character though, it looks quite wonky.
(Yes, I copied the image from the page into Paint and drew a line)
I think peak keycaps font were the ones used in the Epson QX-10, Epson HX-20, Tandy 100, and the common C-64.
