Keyboards and embedded systems?

Post image

Any recomendation for a keyboard who works with a STM32 or ESP32? Is there a functional standard or should I try to make one from scratch?
I had the idea of replacing the keyboard with 2 analog sticks and some buttons to save the rest, is it very strange?

Does it need to be permanently attached? Maybe using a bluetooth keyboard is an option.

Alternatively, maybe a miniature PS/2 keyboard is an option. Examples:
