   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.

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

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

     @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

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