Here's an interesting "keyboard" for sale on aliexpress: It's a deconstructed keyboard matrix!
You can just plug in arcade buttons or whatever to each pair of pins.

@foone this isn't too far off from what's in a lot of modern indie arcade cabs for sale (i-pac2)

@foone link if you have one please. I’m working on a hand held Macintosh project and this would be great for prototyping.

@foone I'm now tempted to get one specifically so I can type by shorting pins with a small screwdriver.

I think there may be something wrong with me...

Nice, I bet that's a lot cheaper than $39 for I-PAC board. Got a link?

My dream of a hammer operable keyboard gets one step closer

@foone or could you just type with a jumper? ⌨️

@foone Might be handy for building assistive technology, that.

They also make a version designed for plugging in connectors, but the most hilarious part is that they laid out the board to mimic the keyboard layout!

@foone and they color coded WASD? I am not a hardware project person but I confess this is sorely tempting

foone OP ,
@foone@digipres.club avatar

@glyph yeah, probably because this is aimed at letting you easily build an arcade machine out of a PC. So you'd wire WASD to a joystick

@foone ok, I kind of want to buy this and make an arcade cabinet but for text adventures with it

@foone That's lovely design, skeuomorphism in its proper place!
