A simplified keyboard for a terminal device, calculator, or the like, in which each key is sequentially scanned and parallel key code data is sent to an entry register. A pair of flip-flops in combination with firmware ascertain that only valid key code data is sent to the entry register for utilization by the system, providing double entry and key bounce protection. The firmware further provides N-key rollover and auto repeat with a variable repeat rate, and expands the keyboard from a single-mode to an eight-mode capability.
