I personally have the Founders Edition, but they’re all great, and wonderfully replicate the original Commmodore 64 experience in modern FPGA hardware. It’s one of the very best ways to recreate the original, and authentic, C-64 experience for our modern world.

Firmware 1.1.0 is now out as well, which adds several improvements, including the ability to use a USB mouse instead of requiring use of the standard classic serial mouse. You can read the changelog here.
