11 min readConnecting a mechanical keypad to a device involves a few key steps. Initially, you need to identify the type of interface the keypad uses, such as USB, PS/2, or a GPIO interface for more embedded systems. Once identified, connect the keypad to the appropriate port on your device. If the keypad uses a USB interface, it often requires no additional drivers apart from what the device operating system provides, making it relatively plug-and-play.
