	Yes, it is compatible.

	I don't have this info handy, but only 4 pins of the din
	are used.  Get the +5 and Ground correct, please, the other
	two are clock and data, and one way works, the other doesn't.

	All you need is a better keymap to activate the additional keys,
	since they were present as spares in the old key matrix.  The map
