[PCD Maltron Ltd](https://www.maltron.com) manufactures ergonomic keyboards
that appear to be hand-wired internally. For the Maltron DQz11N1G-DE
keyboard that I happen to own, the keyboard matrix is wired to a 34-pin DIL

Unfortunately pin-count of the DQz11N1G-DE's keyboard matrix is way beyond
the Pro Micro's available I/O pin count. I'm using three 8-bit
shift-registers ([SN74HC165](https://www.ti.com/product/SN74HC165) ) to
connect the 19 colums of the keyboard matrix for readout. Due to diode
connect the 19 columns of the keyboard matrix for readout. Due to diode
direction in DQz11N1G-DE we also need 19 pull-down resistors one for each of
the utilized shift-register inputs.
