Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9626480A1] An interface device (180) between a user and a CPU or a network terminal, e.g. a microcomputer keyboard or a game console accessory, including control means such as keys provided on the top surface of a housing. The device further includes at least two buttons (181, 181') on each of the two side surfaces (183, 183') of the keyboard. The buttons are connected to the connections of certain keys. The keyboard may also be provided with supporting areas (110, 110', 111) on both front corners and on the front edge of the top side (6) thereof, a microswitch (102, 102') being provided beneath each of said areas and connected in parallel to any one of the keys on the keyboard (180). The device may be used to control software, particularly for an electric pinball game.
