I did try it that way first, and it failed.
The problem is that when I press LEFT, the keypress isn't held and consistant. It's just a single keypress showing the start of LEFT until the counterpart single keypress showing that the LEFT switch is off.
If it was a consistant signal, then it would work fine.
As a test (and this is how I determined the grid of keystrokes in the first place), I used it with notepad to see what characters happened in different situations.
If they were "press and hold" like my normal QWERTY keyboard, notepad would have this on it:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
As I pressed and held the key. But instead, only a single keystroke happened.
Hope that helps clear things up.
