Help Please! hayden 8)
When you say keyboard, do you mean USB or PS2 or either?
Hi haydenyoung
AAC keys might be an easy option for you:

You program the Arduino to send commands though the serial. AAC keys (computer side) reads the serial information and emulate the key strokes or mouse movements.

If you are using an UNO or a Mega2560 you can reprogram the atmega8u2 on it to be a Keyboard HID device, making the Arduino behave like a USB keyboard when its plugged into a PC. There are details, sample sketches, and firmware available here: Arduino Hacking blog.
It Dosint Mater if its usb or ps2 (usb prefured thou) and if i moved the toggle i would need it to put out a Shift+g or something but it cant be at the same time, im useing a Duemilanove
