I am attempting to connect a Pole Position Control Panel to a Hacked keyboard. The problem I have with the shifter is this. There are three connectors on the control. I will label them 1,2, & 3. When 1 & 2 are connected the the keyboard and the shifter is in high gear I get a constant stream from the space key. While the control is in low gear I get nothing in this configuration. When 1 & 3 are connected I get the constant stream in low gear and not high. As I would expect 2 & 3 do nothing.

Ok Here is my question. Is there a way to modify this so only first keypress is registered and all others are ignored. I thought about disabling this in bios, but I need the capability for the gas pedal.

Thanks
