i was thinking about a CFA-631 because coincidence i think not i need 4 buttons outside... how do those buttons interface with a computer anyway?

The CFA-631 will send a key report packet on each key event. Your software would then do whatever is appropriate for that event.

You can also turn off key reporting and use them in a polled mode, if that method is more desirable in your application.
