Hi everyone can anyone tell me why this sketch is giving me a problem saying:
'Keyboard' not found. Does your sketch include the line '#include <Keyboard.h>'?

This library should be used with a Leonardo or Due board : is it the case for you?
Oh no I'm using a Mega 2560.
Thank you!

By Due do you means Duemilanove from the board menu?
It works if I choose the Leonardo, I get the OP's error if I use Duemilanove, I see no Due board.

#warning "Using legacy HID core (non pluggable)"
I'll google yes, of course, but what means this "non pluggable". I am aiming ultimately to get the USB keyboard behavior out of an Arduino I actually possess (UNO, pro mini), I am surprised that such an easy thing from a conceptual point of view has me coming near DFU programming &c.
BTW I used my portable 1.8 Arduino, the same results with my regularly installed 1.6.X tried and true and not so very old.

No. The Due and the Duemilanove are two completely different boards. This is the Due:
You won't see that board in the Tools > Board menu until after you've installed Arduino SAM Boards via Boards Manager.

It doesn't seem conceptually easy at all to me. The easy path is to use a board with native USB capabilities (Leonardo, Micro, Pro Micro, Due, Zero, MKR, etc.)

The less you know, the simpler things seem like they should be.

It is possible if you have an Uno with the ATmega16U2 USB chip on it. I have never tried working with that since I have a bunch of Pro Micros I use whenever I need that sort of functionality. I have seen some people here on the forum struggling with it though. I know there are some pretty well documented resources intended to make it easier to do.
