== Concept ==
The idea is to replace the Olpc's fumbly membrane keyboard with something more apt for touch typing.
This Project is Based on the two part Instructable:
Installing a USB Keyboard into an OLPC XO Laptop, Phase I

Finishing the Job: Installing a USB Keyboard into an OLPC XO Laptop, Phase II
