[LAU] Using a USB pedalboard to trigger keystrokes

Hello everyone! Someone told me, that they were intending to get a pedalboard to trigger keystrokes to control some commandline applications. And I've been wondering. Does anyone have experience with that? A specific device and what about the configuration tools for such tasks? I've been searching the web a little, but unfortunately keyboard, pedalboard and the like are very ambiguous search terms, so the results were rather unhelpful. Any ideas would be welcome. Since I can't solder myself, I'd prefer prebuilt solutions. I'm pretty sure, that this would be possible with Arduino based solutions, but I'd rather not for a start. :-) Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
