What platform?

If it is windows I have a .dlm that can poll keyboard, mouse and joystick
states. You generally would run it inside of a timer event and it provides
far better response than the text widget trick. Downside is that like the
text widget hack you can only read a single keypress at a time (although you
can simultaneously get keyboard, mouse and joystick states) and it is
windows only.
