: Honestly, go spend $49 on the IPAC
: I have used a keyboard hack, a powerramp hack, and both worked *ok* but this is one area of the project that I think people try and save money and they are unhappy with the results.
: just my opinion
That is probably the best advice...but I am one of the lucky ones who have a working keyboard hack. I tested ghosting and all that when I wired mine up. Not a single problem. I think I could get 7 or 8 buttons to register at once in those tests.
I can look up the specifics on the keyboard I hacked if anyone is interested. I didn't use any fancy mapping, just looked for RIGHT CONTROL, etc. and used it. Then I added diodes.
How 'bout we start up the diodes debate again. Haha.
