A new documentary on the history of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum is set to premiere at the BFI IMAX, in London, next month on Thursday, October 3rd, 2024

The Rubber Keyed Wonder - Story of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum is a new documentary from the directors of Bedrooms To Billions, Anthony & Nicola Caulfield. It aims to chart the history of the iconic British microcomputer, looking at how it originally came to be and how it opened the doors for a generation of game developers.

The documentary will feature new interviews with Sir Clive Sinclair’s family (such as his son Crispin Sinclair and nephew Grant Sinclair), various media personalities, former members of Sinclair Research, and the developers of several legendary ZX Spectrum games. It will also feature some rare archive footage, which will further help tell the story of the iconic machine.

I never understood chiclet or Mylar keyboards. A cost cutting measure that pretty much makes the product unusable for anything but playing games.
