I want to make my Arduino to send array of keystrokes with a delay to my PC just like a normal keyboard was, the only difference is that, keys are already declared and an ON/OFF button to start/terminate the program when running.
what confuses me are this questions in my mind:
and i think there's a library needed to be called to make this thing works
can i reuse keyboard chip, control it to send button to pc?
Actually, i have no idea how arduino works.. this was just a redesigned idea of my program that i want to do. my first program works but when i want it to be applied on different application, it didn't. so i was hoping that an external like keyboard that will send keystrokes to my computer will allow me to use it in any applications i want. please help me..

It works with Arduino UNO as well.
I tested it successfully with mine using UnoJoy.
Isn't programming the second mcu required for this?
looks like UnoJoy is a firmware for the serial comm chip
would seem a little too much for someone just getting started
I'm with mike on this one, but I would go further to suggest the Arduino Mirco as well. Dont know about else where but they stock them at my local electronics shop
and i think there's a library needed to be called to make this thing works
its integrated when you select leonardo, micro, lilypad usb,(MEGA34u4 chip) or due. Given you have any of these boards.
otherwise I think your in for a bit of hacking, checkout UnoJoy
