It works perfectly. The catch is that with the joystick and flash drive plugged in, there aren’t any free USB ports for a keyboard. This isn’t a problem for casual gaming as there is an on-screen keyboard but if you’d like to use a proper keyboard, you’ll need to add a USB hub to the mix. I’m using a fairly expensive one from Anker but you can get a generic USB hub for about $2 (including shipping from China) on eBay and it should, in principle, work.

I've heard the C64 Mini requires a powered USB hub, but I haven't tested this for myself. Has anyone on the list tried one of those cheap unpowered hubs?
