Does this have the raised buttons like original?

To DT or anyone else confused about the buttons: It looks like you probably had the later 2nd gen model with the flat faux-membrane keyboard. The original 1st gen had round, raised 'chiclet' keys which held up better over time. I had that one as a kid and now have all models and variations. I don't have this one yet, but it looks like it's scaled differently—a little squarer and thicker.

Hi are the electronics in this the same as the original? Looking to circuit bend

Hi there, unfortunately they are not adapted well for circuit bending as they have been changed slightly from the original. If you have any further inquiries, please email us at customerservice@basicfun.com & enjoy!

Are you going to release a new speak and read or speak and math as well?

Hi there, thank you for your question on the Speak and Spell by Basic Fun reissued as a learning tablet inspired by the classic of the original! We just released this item for Fall 2019 and are planning on many more releases in 2020 and 2021, please check back. At this point in time, for Fall 2019, the Speak and Spell will be the only style offered. I hope this helps but if you have anymore inquiries, please feel free to contact us at customerservice@basicfun.com & enjoy!
