That's what I was thinking about doing.. I've heard talk about HIDs being the best part of the USB spec to learn with - apparently they're less finicky than stuff like COM ports... Must do some more reading up. And pop to Farnell tomorrow to pick up some USB connectors, voltage regulators, crystals and USB PICs. Good fun, especially now my laptop works again.
