Their KE72 rocks. No piddly diodes and matrix to scan, just whack what
keystrokes you need into a config file and you're done. Love it.

However... you may find yourself running out of switches faster than you
think, even my generic pit did. For my own MFD I've butchered an old
keyboard since all the MFD buttons are push-buttons and not toggles. That
free's up a whole bunch of KE72 inputs :)
