The Family Basic Keyboard (HVC-007) was a peripheral released with the Family Basic package in 1984. With the data recorder that could be attached to it, it allowed the Famicom to have the abilities of the average home computer of around that time. It is a generic 72 button keyboard using common matrix logic, and can be connected to the Famicom at the expansion port.

||+-- Reset the keyboard to the first row.
|+--- Select column, row is incremented if this bit goes from high to low.
+---- Select keyboard (always set.)
Incrementing the row at the 9th row will cause it to wrap back to the first row.
Leaving bit 2 clear will cause writes to direct to the data recorder instead.
Output ($4017 read)

Any key that is held down, will read back as 0.
