Paul Orselli shared a great proto interface at last years ASTC. "Makey Makey", works great for quick and dirty. Also, Hagstrom Electronics has a great interface for final product- KE-USB36.

Subject: Controlling PC with pushbuttons
 
ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers

*****************************************************************************

For an exhibit prototype, we are looking for a solution to controlling a PC (specifically, navigating to one of several URLs with Internet Explorer) using pushbuttons. I expect that there are existing solutions to this in the adaptive technologies world - any leads on what has worked for you along these lines? I imagine this will be a combination of a hardware interface and some sort of macro software...

thanks
