mich be cheaper and more versitile to use a screen as keybourd using a resistive touch screen?
altough getting one the size of the oled might be hard to optain
also the cheapest like keybourd would probebly be an IR reciver and a tv remote (cheapest dousnt mean usefull tough)
altogh we need high demand we could do a run of custom silicone pad's (like the zx spectrum)
getting of the shelf parts means allot of tinkering or disasambling like the xbox pad
alternative bieng compliant with BLE would alow any wireles keybourd to work (ofcource at decrement of the batery and price)
No problem! Before you were writing this, I already developed a working XBox 360 Chatpad driver that will work with our controller ATMEGA128p.
The chatpad is just awesome to write things on; and would probably the best option in my opinion. What do you think?
About the touch screen, how did you think should we add such a layer?

Or to use the micro usb port as a usb host port?
I fear thats not possible

It could be used in conjunction with the Gamebuino's buttons, as well :
D-Pad : Move around to edit
B : Backspace

What do you think?
A nice idea actually.
In case you don't like my Chatpad consideration, I have a similar idea in mind, but note that the size of the PCB pretty much dictates the end price of he module.
Here's a rough draft:
