Access to keyboard while playing cab.
<< < (4/4)
DeathDealer:
I have a port down in the front of my 3/4 mame, you can not see it unless you get on the floor and look for it. its connected to the second port on the I-pac with a keyboard wire extension.  I use the key board on regular ocasion.

I used to use wired keyboard behind coin door.  rarely used it, but it was a pain in the $%# when I had to.  Bought  wireless (rf) keyboard.  Works like a champ.  I just sit it on top of the cab (near the back, you can't see it) when not in use.  

Now I upgraded cab pc with win xp pro.  if you do that you can use remote desktop for all your uses.  haven't used my wireless keyboard yet since upgrade using remote desktop (going on 3 mos).  And unlike VNC (yeah I know there are free ones out there), this one is built right in to windows; a couple clicks and it just works.

Another vote for the wireless keyboard. Mines IR, so I needed to locate the receiver unit somewhere that is visible. I'm using tinted plexi over the monitor, and there was just enough room between the top of the monitor and the opening(just below the marquee area) to mount it.

For the keyboard itself, under the control panel is a gap of a few inches, the width of the cabinet. It fits there nicely, and when I finish my CP overlay, there will be a hinged flap covering that area
