The easiest option is to remake a USB mouse and handle the onMouseUp events on the site

In your case, JavaScript is responsible for processing keystrokes, not PHP (because it is JavaScript that is executed on the client's computer). I think you should write JavaScript handlers that, upon pressing certain keyboard key combinations (say, Ctrl + 1 and Ctrl + 2), would perform the required actions (selecting an answer option and submitting the form). And two physical buttons, when pressed, would simply send codes to the browser corresponding to pressing Ctrl + 1 and Ctrl + 2 on the keyboard.
An example of JavaScript code for handling keystrokes:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e){
        // Ctrl+1
        if (e.ctrlKey && e.which === 49)
        {
          alert('Выбор следующего ответа');
        }
      });
      
      document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e){
        // Ctrl+2
        if (e.ctrlKey && e.which === 50)
        {
          alert('Отправка формы с выбранным ответом');
        }
      });
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>
