    IIRC most keyboards are not multilayered except for strength. You should be able to trace the circuit by eye and use a jumper wire from the key connection. The ones I played with ran a simple matrix but that was years ago. It can't be too hard.

    I'm actually trying to gather up an older "circuit board" keyboard to
    play with first. :) Given that I'm goign to be cutting through the
    traces on the board, what's the best way to solder to that without
    burning up the trace? Should I drill the board and dip the wires
    through? Or are those boards generally multi-layer?
