The Custom Keyboard

This is the basic design of the custom keyboard:


















A standard computer keyboard can be used with a simple cardboard custom cover built for it with six custom buttons. This is what the visitors use to control the emotions of the Beast. The custom built case will be built for the main purpose of holding the custom buttons, which will connect with particular buttons on the actual keyboard, which need to be triggered to set the emotion-changing keyboard events into place.

For example, the custom button showing a smiley face or a sun (representing happiness), can be pushed by the visitor. This custom button, when pressed, will in turn press down a keyboard button, for example, the letter “G” button, which can be programmed to set the “happy” animation into play.

As you can see, The custom buttons care built into the custom keyboard case and when pressed, will press the real keyboard buttons which will activate the code.

There is also room to put instructions on the right stide of the keyboard.
