Once you have a hacked keyboard you can use it for a number of functions and attach a number of different types of switches. You can build your own typewriter keyboard (video here)... You can use a photocell as a switch. You can hook it up to a capacitance sensor and use just about anything to trigger an event in a Flash movie. You can hook it up to some floor switches and develop your own DDR game." - Link.
