Thanks for the heads-up on the ps2keyboard. I had looked at this and had thought it was strictly for interfacing a real ps2 keyboard per the wiring diagrams. I haven't tried it with the game, (working currently on laptop away from game hardware) I have been able to send characters to the serial monitor AND to the w7 focused program -- notepad. I figure if I can "serial print" to the monitor and "serial read" from the "serial monitor" I will be able to "serial read" from the python program.

Looks like the teensy3.1 was the correct purchase.
