Hi Glen,

You want a device called an "I-PAC" This plugs into a USB port and you
can emulate up to 56 different inputs. It's very cheap and we use them
all the time. They can be activated by a Happ Controls button or any
other contact closure. Go to: www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html. The unit is
very small. I think the last time we bought some they cost about $
39.00.

Does anyone have a source for a device to replace a computer keyboard
with buttons?
 
We only need to emulate 6 keys max. 

Not sure what it is called, so it is difficult to google.

Thanks!
