Hello Dave If you have a copy of the Embeded Controls Hanbook they show a few examples on interfacing to keypads and at least one example on simulating the mouse protocol with a pic. It should be fairly simple to combine these things into a working model of what you want to do. Contact me if you would like me to look up the specific app notes for you.
