Here's the vintage keyset with my USB interface. I used an Arduino-like microcontroller (the Teensy) to make the keyset act like a standard USB keyboard. To get upper case and special characters, you click mouse buttons at the same time. Too much coordination for me!

    This reference card explains what keyset presses and mouse buttons generate each character. Memorize this chart and then you too can use the keyset. A much steeper learning curve than the mouse.

    @kenshirriff Not all ideas have to be perfect... but you got to love the braided wire!
