Yeah, thats not worth it. Why don't you guys in the UK figure out how many of these things you want and then we can work something out where someone here can purchase them and send them all to one of you guys there who can send them to the rest.
If no one else wants to organize this then I'll help you guys out with it.

I just realized that I forgot to mention - and some of you may have already noticed - that the source code for the application is included. So, if any programmers *cough*Frodo?*cough* were inclined to look at it, I believe the legwork for this is already done. Looks like the source is some form of C..

Edit: Some useful combinations that come to mind are: Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Shift-Esc, Alt-F4, WinKey-R, Winkey-D, Alt-Tab

Is there a USB PS2 controller out there that this thing should just snap onto? And that's awesome!

Any idea what those programs are called before I go aimlessly searching on downloads.com?

This might be the final puzzle peice is using a Playstation controller with the keypad as an entire remote control system.

Now sure what connector this is. Looks like it might be a parrelle port plug. Not sure how well the Joymouse program will work with the parelell plug.
