You can physically add buttons or wheels to a keyboard. You may use the scroll wheel and the controller from a mouse for that. If you want your keyboard controller to do totally different things, I think it's best to put a new controller in your keyboard.

Search here and on Geekhack There is a hardware side and a software (firmware) side to it.
