Smiley acknowledged but, you know -- that's a pretty good reason to
have more buckybits than you expect to use on a normal keyboard.  You
can map "exotic" input devices onto them.  Some people might really
appreciate that extra space: being able to set up bindings for, e.g.,
their mouthstick that don't collide the keyboard-oriented bindings.
Perhaps it's nicer than "please make your input device emulate a
keyboard".
