Hi Benjamin – it’s not a MakeCode or MakeCode Python program, it’s a MicroPython program, so you’ll need to use Mu, or one of the online official micro:bit Python editors like https://python.microbit.org/v/beta
best wishes

Hey there! I’ve copied the code into the MakeCode section, but it doesn’t work. It has 55 problems.

Hi there – it may be possible to do this with the Advanced > Serial blocks in MakeCode but I’ve not had time to try this yet.

Wow, As someone who has wrriten software for keyboard to communicate with PC’s in the past (205+ years ago) I know just how complex the full interface is.

To light the LED’s you are going to have to emulate the full protocol as the Keyboard “Clocks” in data from the host when the host signals it wants to send.
not sure if Python on the microbit will be fast enough for that though, I am tempted to try it on a Pi though (I have already written an AVR keyboard interface for fun)

Good luck
