I just remembered seeing it while leafing through a Tiger Direct catalog.

I actually own someting similar: a "Mextel Autokey 20/20 Macro Keyboard". They were made in the late 80's or early 90's.

If you have any free inputs left on your IPAC, why don't you just drill 4 to 12 extra button holes, spend $4 to $12 on some buttons, and map them to the functions you need?  It would be a lot cheaper than spending $80 for a keypad, and would probably end up looking better.

On a side note, what admin buttons do you need?  I have an Exit button on mine, and sometimes build them with a Pause button, but that's about it.  I guess you could make a case for a TAB button, if you want to just plop a bunch of ROMs on there and play without preconfiguring anything.
Pasqualz:
I completely agree that ading some extra buttons to my CP would be cheaper, however my main consideration is the time it would take. I have two young sons and a wife that's going to school. Between my job, housework, and taking care of the kids, I would probably be able to allocate 1 minute per day to this project, therefore it would be completed in 2008! Now I need to think of some additional functions to map to this key stick. So far I have:
Exit Game (ESC), In-game Tab Menu (TAB), Volume control. . . Can anyone else think of some functions I could add???

I like:
   Menu
   Enter
   Escape

   Volume +
   Volume -

   Pause
   Test
   Reset


I bet you could also use it to create links to your fav games, (Mame and Non-Mame).

Mark,

I'm not aware of what function <Enter> has in MAME32. Can you inform me? I'm pretty sure that MAME32 uses the same default keys mapped to the same default functions. can anyone verify this?
