We did something similar to what you talking about (although not a
keyboard). You need a fast DB and a faster Web server to get anything
real-time happening.

Subject: (keitai-l) virtual keyboard....
This is a general coding question - but an answer would be useful to
all....
Can anyone think of a way to create a virtual qwerty keyboard on screen
that would use *entirely server side resources*?
One would twiddle the pointer knob and click to select the letter one
wanted.... a LOT faster than the keypad for typing e-mail in English..
(with the phone on its side would be best)
Easy enough with javascript, easy enough with java - but neither are
available to the client.

(Hush! Don't mention it to Amazon - they will try and patent the "one
click keyboard")
