I am looking at working on a project to help a friend with limited mobility in her hands get back to playing the game she enjoys after losing fine motor skills in her hands. I just have a few questions before I go about getting everything I need. I have looked at multiple boards ranging from the Makey Makey to the Teensy as well as a few others trying to find the best way to go about this.
I want to make a 65ish key "pad" that will allow buttons to be mapped to key presses on the keyboard. Some buttons would need to be combination buttons such as pushing a button attached to say pin E6 would need to push CTRL + Shift + E while pin E5 might do CTRL + 4 or Pin D8 may just do 4 so as to let her push multiple keys corosponding to keybound actions within the game itself with the side/base of her hand on one button.
My question is if the Teensy board (and which if any) is capable of doing this and if so could anyone recommend any resources I could use to go about doing it from a wiring/programming standpoint.
I would probably be doing it in a breadboard style so I can re-purpose it for her as needed.
