Title: Making a Mini Modifier Keyboard
Post by: Frogbot on Tue, 05 April 2016, 21:08:49

I'm using a tablet pc and looking for ways to have modifier keys while using a stylus in program like zbrush.

Here's a mockup of the kind of layout I'm looking at (made with pop sticks :)

Usb is fine but bluetooth would be great...

Just wondering if anyone's seen something like this before or has any pointers on where to get started.

I'm thinking these could be an option:  http://techkeys.us/collections/accessories/products/the-enabler

But I have no idea on how I would set up a controller or program the keys.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

Not using real switches but the you're doing what another user (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=75287.msg1888571#msg1888571) made a video about. EasyAVR has been updated so questions are expected :)
