I’m considering making a USB emergency boot controller for my Mac to use when during the rare times I have to do diagnostics and my bluetooth keyboard isn’t connecting. I’d rather not have to store a wired keyboard somewhere.
I’m thinking of a small hand held 5 button trigger designed like the Wii Nunchuck that can be plugged in during troubleshooting. I know I’ll have to figure out the programming for this and I’ve found some good guides online for it but I am writing to ask about the Teensy controller. Would that be the device I would need to just create a device that each button can combine certain keyboard presses? Example: Button 1 (Flash PRAM) = Option+CMD+P+R. Or does the Teensy require all the individual keys to exist separately? If the Teensy would work for this and it is just a matter of programming would it be able to accept signals from a controller circuit like the one in the Wii Nunchuck and just translate each key press into the needed combination of keyboard signals? Any advice you could provide would be appreciated.
