Hey everyone,
I made a Reddit post here asking if it were possible to make a USB attachment for my Surface Pro 3. Here's a mock up of what I have in mind. My SP3 just doesn't feel comfortable when drawing because of the keyboard placement when on my lap. So, I want to make HotKeys with a screen to display what each button does. Eventually I would like to have it attach to the side of my tablet, but i want to implement first before refining.
Right now I need a parts list of things I need to make this work. I've been looking at these so far:
There's a Home Depot nearby, so I'm sure I can get soldering stuff there. Everything else I'll have to order through Amazon. Is this the right start? Is the screen the right kind/type for what I'm trying to do? This would be my first project ever. Thanks for any and all help provided.

- Teensy 2.0
- I2C OLED screen
- Push buttons (what kind)
- Resistor (?)
- Soldering Iron (which type?)
- soldering wire (which kind?)
- ESD wrist strap
