The Elf Membership Card has 8 data switches, 3 mode switches, and a IN push button on its front panel. The data is displayed on 8 LEDs (binary). It is a error prone but educational task to "switch in" in (load) the program.

I have an old external keypad because my old notebook did not have a numeric keypad. The keys looks similar to those old Elf hex keypads, why not use this spare keypad for the Elf Membership Card? It is a Cherry keyboard and I have other Cherry keyboard with the same key caps.

No special software needed. Keyboard drivers are already built in.

Mapping scancodes to keycodes is universal and not specific to Linux console or Xorg, which means that changes to this mapping will be effective in both.
