Alternative Keyboard for Pocket BASIC Computer

Hi guys,

Are there any alternatives to the xbox chatpad in the Pocket BASIC Computer e.g. one that interfaces with the arduino's RX pin without being programmed manually?

Thanks

You could use a tiny PS/2 keyboard and use a serial converter or use this portable one from ebay: Stowaway Portable Keyboard Designed by Think Outside RS232 Direct P N ES17000 | eBay

Ps/2 keyboards are big.He meant a pocket computer and only require small ones(unless willing to comprmise on the size). If used with RPI there are many options. If you can't find one, best thing is to laser cut the keys and use a switch(which will require programming).
