This sounds like a great project for an Arduino. The problem I see is an "easy" way for the end user to be able to let the Arduino know what command each pushbutton represented. Maybe a file on an SD card that held those variables? The op would only have to populate the file on the SD card.... Humm.

I would gladly pay for software that could implement this. I have quite literally aggravated an old rotator cuff problem (surgery once) tuning and pushing buttons on my ergonomically-challenged K3. I'm ready to rearrange the shack to put the radio on the left and have already trained my left hand to run the mouse. A "flat-on-the-desk" keypad would be wonderful.
