Be sure that none of your controls *interfere* with each other.   ;)

I took the interface out of an old Compaq keyboard and spent a little time mapping the matrix out with 2 paper clips.  It's time consuming and frustrating.  I abandoned the effort when I realized the IBM laptop I'm planning on using allows *only* a mouse to be connected through it's PS/2 port.  Tards.

There's some coolness to the keyboard hack if you're the DIY type.  If you're the "I gotta do this to save money" type then you'll likely hit the same frustration I did ;-)  Just buy a low end keyboard encoder and be done with it.

I don't think keyboard hacks are worth it IMO.  I have never done one myself, so this is all speculative on my part, but from what I read, it's just not worth the hassle.  Many people will also wind up getting terminal blocks and other odds and ends to get the hack working and by the end, they have spent $10-20 on the hack.  The keywiz eco is something like $30 IIRC, so I don't see the argument for saving money in all honesty.
