I've done that with one of Paul Stoeffringen's Teensy++ 2.0 boards running
Arduino, works great.  I've only emulated mice and keyboards so far. 
Takes like 5-10 lines of C-ish code.
What's great about the Teensy is that you can chat with Paul at DorkbotPDX
meetings every other Monday.  He's a great guy.

If the project is not particularly urgent or lucrative, maybe I could see
what I can throw together and pass along to you.  (I don't usually do fun
stuff for money. :)

If the project *is* urgent and/or lucrative, talk to Paul or post to the
Dorkbot list.

Can you comment on what sort of input this keyboard emulator is supposed
to have?
