You could check out the A500 mini, more of an emulator though - https://retrogames.biz/products/thea500-mini/

A500 Mini isn't as cool IMO. It's just a generic arm board running linux with an Amiga emulator. The keys don't even work. May as well just use a Pi or a PC.

Indeed. It's just a cash-grab device exploiting nostalgia.

The software it uses, amiberry, is open source and was made for the more powerful, useful and common Raspberry Pi boards. Getting one of these is a much better idea.

Yeah, I have one, and the keyboard being non-functional is a real bummer. It's a neat mini console (especially once you add some additional games), but I wish they would make a version with a working keyboard, like they made TheC64. But the quality of the case is great, and the tank mouse definitely is the way to use workbench)
