keyboard hack - earth wire
« on: September 28, 2005, 09:23:46 am »
Hi

I recently for the first time hacked a keyboard (usb) to use with my home made desktop controller. everything is working great but I was just wandering where if anywhere I should connect the keyboards earth wire. on the keyboard it was attached to a large thin metal plate that was sat at the base of the casing. should I put a metal plate in my controller and connect it to that or is it ok just not connected?

Any Help would be appreciated.
