Hi all, I set up a USB keyboard to GKOS one hand using some mouse buttons and pro micro arduino. 

If interested in pictures and scripts, I can upload them to the group. 

With very minor modifications of my authorship, the rest is all in on http://gkos.net/

Regards 
César.

P.D:
I wrote this with my gkos usb keyboard.

It's been a while since I last looked at GKOS - but my original goal was to make a bluetooth enabled GKOS keyboard that you could stick to the back of your phone and type.  I previously made a USB wired GKOS keyboard using an Arduino Pro Mini.  However, the blocking issue was finding a cost effective BT module that supported the HID protocol (most of the inexpensive development BT modules seem to implement a serial port - maybe that's changed now?

However, I was looking at DX.com today and they have this for < $13 USD delivered:

This might make a good place to hack a GKOS keyboard - but I don't know how well it handles chording.  Might be worth a $13 experiment though...  :-)

Bluetooth HID module :-) for $6.

César - you should try and adapt your design for BT rather than USB :-)

mostly keyboards do not allow multiple keypresses simultaneously

anyway .. if u cn send yr photos or the wired usb/serial device which supports upto 6 key presses at one time, then it will help me with my hindi language typing .. 

new :

www.SimpleKeyboard.in for hindi/bengali (later)
ALL devices .. ALL operating systems !

looks cool
does it work when all the keys are pressed ?
can all the keys be pressed at a time to get a character ?
it just the right size for my sanskrit typing
