http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_X68000

X68000 keyboard has ALPS linear switches.
- DSETK0016CE01   green linear
- DSETK0023CE03   yellow linear


Hardware
--------
Target MCU is ATMega32u4 but other USB capable AVR will also work.
You can use PJRC Teensy as dev board.

Wiring:
    Mini-DIN            Teensy
    -----------------------------------------------------
    pin1   +5V          VCC
    pin2   MOUSE        -
    pin3   RXD          PD2(RXD)
    pin4   TXD          PD3(TXD) NOTE: Not supported yet.
    pin5   READY        -
    pin6   REMOTE       -
    pin7   GND          GND


Firmware
--------
Build:
    $ cd x68k_usb
    $ make

And load the binary to MCU with your favorite programmer.
If you use Teensy you can load with PJRC Teensy Loader tool.
