microHAM "Keyers" (CW keyer, microKEYER and microKEYER II) all
support a standard PS/2 keyboard for CW generation and 9 user
defined memories in addition to the CAT interface and other
features that vary by model.
K1EL (www.k1el.com) has an AT keyboard to CW converter chip
and a K42 CW Keyboard Kit as well.
There are other keyboard CW solutions, including the CW keyboard
functions built into logging programs like DXLab Suite (WinWarbler),
Logger32 and DX4Win as well as some stand alone CW keyboard
programs.
