Basically, I agree with you on that point.  Those who want to run Linux
should buy keyboard.

Other way around, supporting keyboard input by Joypad is good.

Back to Japan (after meeting you), I broke the display of my notebook
computer at airport.  Since then, I do my presentation with Dreamcast
(using DFBpoint).  Some people who have Dreamcast (say, for his
children) are getting interest, they want to "try" it on their Dreamcast
with no keyboard.

I know.  But isn't it fun to implement it?

Well, you'd say I have (many other) things to do, oh, yes.
But I need something fun, sometime.
