here's one that we did some time ago...

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather try to hack the driver or the cable (e.g.
using PS2-to-serial converters) rather than open the keyboard's case. With
those solutions, it doesn't take more effort to support more buttons.
Uh, I wrote that assuming that you meant you were making something
designed not to interfere with USB keyboard drivers and so you were
bypassing the controller and stuff. But I was confused.
