+This is a way to take a Microsoft ergonomic bluetooth keyboard, and make it 
+into a hard-wired keyboard running QMK. 
+
+The keyboard is known under several different names:
+Mobile Bluetooth 5000, Mobile 6000, Sculpt mobile, and Asus rebranded 
+
+I had a stack of them,since they're cheap on ebay, travel well, and are just ergo enough. 
+
+The ribbon cable is 1mm pitch, which is hard to hand solder. I bought a cheap set of 
+"pitch adapter" boards https://www.amazon.com/Double-Sided-0-4mm-1-0-Adapter-60mmx38mm/dp/B00OK42118
+
+Cut the original ribbon cable sockets off the bluetooth board using a razor, they're hard to desolder. 
+They're also allow the cable to be inserted on top or bottom. 
+
+If I was going to do it again, I'd make the MCU connection come out the top of the keyboard
+and avoid the wires dangling out the bottom. 
+
+As I was debugging the matrix, I started to get random failures. In desparation I tried a second MCU, 
+but had the same problems. It turns out that the ribbon cable connections can get worn. Shave a
+half millimeter off the end of the ribbon cable & the errors go away. 
+
+My method for discovering the matrix was to set up a KEYMAP macro that included all pins. 
+See MATRIX_TESTING_KEYMAP if you need it. Then set up a keymap that has all printable symbols
+in the first 4 rows. test each key & record output. Then switch the printable symbols to the
+bottom 4 rows & repeat. This was enough to show the matrix. 
+
+
+The full original keymap for the sculpt is

+This works with 18 cols + 8  rows on a Teensy++, or Arm based Teensy. 
+
+The Astar mini has all pins exposed , so you can do 18x8
+If you want a speaker, LEDs &etc, you'll need to free up a pin.  I recommend joining columns
+R and L to the same pin. 
+
+Building - add ASTAR=1 to the compile line or leave out for teensy2++
