iOS API for detecting keyboard press/releases

So the UITextField can take keyboard input, but is there any way to detect when a particular button on the keyboard (in particular external keyboards) is pressed/released?

If not, is it possible to hook directly to bluetooth keyboards for iPad/iPhone and get their signals directly?

You can use a UITextField for user input and implement its delegate methods in order to control what the user is typing. You can implement

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string

which is called every time the user enters a character in the text field, and check the character entered in there.
