Keyboard hacks
GadgetGeek:
What kind of keyboard you using? I picked up a $4 belkin at office max this weekend (free after rebate) and the pins are all under an epoxy bump in the center of the circuit board and I can't get anything to stick to the "connector" to the mylar. Suggestions?

well considering you can get a brand new ipac for 39$ which includes massive technical support from a lot of people on these boards plus Andy if anything was wrong, plus the programming and shift functions. youd have to sell yours for like 20$ and i doubt that would be worth it
meta87:
knowing people on ebay you could probably charge 50 and they would still go for it. :D

I would as I seem to try to do way more than I can get done, my keyboard hack is still sitting on my computer desk that I'd started months ago. If you sell them for less than $10 and can get 12 or so non ghosting inputs out of it I'd be interested.

If you want EASY to hack keyboards then hit up the thrift stores/surplus places and look for "clicky" keyboards. Specifically look for heavy keyboards that make a nice click with each keypress.
These are an absolute dream to work with. They will have a full size PCB inside that will let you easily select the exact keys you want to use, and then even put the thing back together afterwards.
I have used these several times, and never had a problem with them.
One note though, I DO NOT suggest using a keyboard for a multi-player control panel. Use them for single player ones only, no chance of blocking that way.
