What do you mean by "competition legal", and how does what you want to do differ from using the computer's built-in keyboard?

... I researched this topic here before I decided to ask this question, and some people said hat there were legality issues with modifying the driver station (I guess anyone could have said that...). I also wanted to stay away from the main keyboard in case the driver accidentally hits the space bar or something and e-stops the robot. I would like to use a keyboard more like a joystick, where the button presses can be registered, but are meaningless unless the program says so (basically the keyboard doesn't type. It's just a bunch of buttons waiting to be told what to correspond to). In addition, I figured it might be easier to program.
