-This flexibility will let you do totally crazy things with your DX1 pad!  You would be able to emulate a [[http://​www.frogpad.com/​|frogpad]] ​as well as allow sending of any character via the DX1.+This flexibility will let you do totally crazy things with your DX1 pad!  You would be able to emulate a [[http://​www.frogpad.com/​|frogpad]] ​and other forms of [[chorded input]] with this, allowing ​sending of any character via the DX1 with only a minimal amount of keys.
  
 One post makes mention of the fact the toggle states would sometimes need to be visible, otherwise you've no idea of the state of the keys on the pad just by looking at it.  One possible solution to this might be to use the led's on the device to communicate to the user it's current state. ​ Each keygroup could say, "when i'm active, do this to the leds: blink combination 1"​. ​ Of course it's also possible to have on on-screen UI to show you the sites (think vista sidebar plugin), but that's no good if you're running a fullscreen application or game.  Hooking up an led dot matrix display via USB and positioning it somewhere suitable is of course another option (see www.thinkgeek.com for led/lcd dot matrix USB displays and open-source drivers for them). One post makes mention of the fact the toggle states would sometimes need to be visible, otherwise you've no idea of the state of the keys on the pad just by looking at it.  One possible solution to this might be to use the led's on the device to communicate to the user it's current state. ​ Each keygroup could say, "when i'm active, do this to the leds: blink combination 1"​. ​ Of course it's also possible to have on on-screen UI to show you the sites (think vista sidebar plugin), but that's no good if you're running a fullscreen application or game.  Hooking up an led dot matrix display via USB and positioning it somewhere suitable is of course another option (see www.thinkgeek.com for led/lcd dot matrix USB displays and open-source drivers for them).
