Hi Jude,

We can limit it --- and in fact, we already do, because the
000 key produces three events.

But this is a little tricky to do, because somebody could
just be typing very fast.

The device seems to emit an keycode of 144 both before
and after each actual press, so we might do a more sophisticated
key detection. (But we'd absolutely have to verify that.)

It might also be a good idea to try out a different device
so we can get some feel for what the scanners might be
most comfortable with. (And these devices might behave
differently as well.)
