| An experiment in keyboard hacking |

I went digging through my closet for a keyboard to hack, to make a mini control panel for a MAME presentation, and came accross an old "clicky" keyboard. I opened it up and found a soldered circuit board. I think this may make for an easier keyboard hack. I'll keep this updated. |
| USSEnterprise:
All the wires are soldered in place for a 1 Joy, 5 button CP I used speaker wire. Now to connect and see if it works |
| USSEnterprise:
It works! Much friggin easier than a standard, modern keyboard hack. Wow! |

I almost did this - I heard it would be unresponsive and that I might not be happy with it. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. |

He's saving his money for other non-essential purchases of items that may or may not be broken, and may or may not fit down the stairs into his basement. Heck, they may not even work without a financial investment he can no longer afford after the initial purchase price. You, on the other hand, should follow the far better method of simply purchasing one of the high-quality and far-lower-problem-ratio keyboard encoders ;D |
