The power switch/toggle thing is unintuitive and hard to use on this, something that was changed from the Ultimate 64 single button.

Verdict: I like it, although it's not for me. (I prefer using original hardware.) If you already have an Ultimate 64, I don't see any reason to upgrade. 2/2

I didn't upgrade my two Ultimate 64 Elite IIs, I added two Commodore 64 Ultimates, one Starlight Edition and one Founders Edition. 😁

The former did indeed arrive two days before Christmas, the latter has just today been sent off by the Commodore NL hub.

You can use a keyboard shortcut for the menu instead of pushing the rocker switch up: C= and Restore.

This now also works on the Ultimate 64 if you updated it to the 3.14a firmware.

I only use the rocker switch to turn the computer on, for everything else I use the keyboard and menu
