Mini Wireless Keyboard for your cab
fytr:
Hi,
I too picked up the Lenovo HTPC keyboard this fall. It does work pretty well, not as handy as a full-size keyboard, but a decent compromise for light-duty use. I use the volume buttons on mine most-often to tweak the volume between different games.
To get around the lack of F1-F12 function keys, I've simply remapped those in my Mame config to use "Ctrl+1", "Ctrl+2", etc. instead. Seems to work pretty well.
I too have forgotten to turn off the keyboard on the back and had my batteries die as a result, that's a poorly implemented feature (having to turn it on/off all the time), but not too big a deal for me.
Regards,
Ken

What about this for $4.99? I already have an ipod touch which I use to control my itunes jukebox on my arcade cabinet. Why not a full keyboard?
