An experiment in keyboard hacking
(1/3) > >>
USSEnterprise:
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.

USS Enterprise seems to never have two shiny pennies to rub together, which is more than likely why he chose to do this.  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
