You can get hobbiest kits that have a small board, chemicals and a etch resistant pen.

I could have soldered onto the membrane if the leads were larger. I was able to do it, but I kept accidentally touching the solder to other leads. I don't have hands steady enough nor a soldering iron small enough.

I did think of making a small board, but at this point I think I'll just buy one of the tiny keyboards mentioned by others.

Thanks.

My recommendation: http://www.directron.com/psk3100u.html

It's very small, very flat, and its design is not very imposing.

Here's a cheaper price for one of the small keyboards:

Mini-Key Keyboard for Playstation 2

I haven't bought from there myself, so I can't vouch for the quality.

What about one of those USB laser keyboards that draw the keyboard on any surface?  Then you could just extend a USB port to the exterior of your cabinet.
