[Ladyada] and [pt] had an old keyboard from NeXT, but since it used a custom protocol it wasn’t usable with modern hardware. So they built a custom device to convert the NeXT protocol to USB. The device uses a Arduino Micro to read data from the keyboard and communicate as a HID device over USB. It [...]

[Steve] created an AVR programmer using an old USB keyboard. We feature a bunch of AVR programmers, but this one is made from parts that many people will have lying around. There are two components: the controller PCB from a USB keyboard, and an optocoupler for emulating key presses. In order to send data to [...]

A common challenge for computer security specialists is getting data out of a very locked-down system. Of course all network traffic on these test machines is monitored, and burning a CD or writing to a USB Flash drive is out of the question. Where there’s a will there’s a way, so [András] figured out how [...]

Unlike the traditional ebony and ivory found on pianos, isomorphic keyboards arrange buttons on a grid. This makes every chord the same shape, and to transpose a piece it’s simply a matter of moving your fingers a few places to the left or right.

Very tiny keyboard The idea behind the iControlPad2 is pretty simple – just take the slide-out keyboard from a phone, discard the phone part, add two analog sticks and a D-pad, and put Bluetooth in it. It makes for a very small keyboard perfect for controlling a Raspi, a home media server, or even a phone [...]

For over a hundred years, good typists didn’t ‘hunt and peck’ but instead relied on keeping their fingers on the home row.

The newly released Arduino Leonardo has a few very interesting features, most notably the ability to act as a USB keyboard and mouse thanks to the new ATmega 32U4 microcontroller.

Upon first sight there will be no doubt in anyone’s mind that this is a hacker’s keyboard.

remote-exploit & backtrack
I have a reverse-connect binary that connects back to my server on a port, let's say 2020. Because of how things work, I need to be able to monitor this port for the connecting binary, and if it occurs, i.e., the port becomes "active" send commands to the screen as if typed on the server's keyboard (I think you would call that stdin or is it stdout?).
Anyway, the binary cannot be changed, it is hard-coded to connect back to this port and this port alone. Anyone have an idea on how I can do this through an existing BT4 program or otherwise?
Thanks.

Hello everyone my keyboard was working fine then all of a sudden it started acting up. Now when I boot into linux the keyboard works fine till I start the Xsever. At first I thought that the keyboard stopped working so I restarted it and still had the same problem. I ended up restarting it 8 times then I finally got pissed off and started to hit the keyboard now when I was done hitting it I kinda kept my hand on it and noticed it still types but I have to hold it for a long period of time for it to start typing. I have to hold the button for like 1-2 Sec for it to type one letter. Then i checked the keyboard setting and they where fine so any suggestions would be great.
Please Please get back to me on this I really don't want to reinstall it.
