i just took an old keyboard apart. the green board was quite small,
about 2 inches by 3 inches. then i wrapped the green board with the rest
of the keyboard cable and tied it up. now this thing just hangs off the
back of my computer. it keeps it off the floor, and there are no actual
keys upon which to step or set something on.
if i were going to get any fancier, i would just get a better computer.
