What about this idea instead of a trackball?

I am not making my cabinet so it can play trackball gaems, the trackball is only for mouse operation.  What about mounting this mini keyboard on your control panel, inbetween the 2 U360 joysticks and buttons?

Yes. 

You will not need a keyboard after you do the initial setup.

Looked at the site hellothere linked to and found this:

can't REALLY take the place of an arcade trackball in my opinion but it's better than that keyboard...

seems like we have a lot of trackball posts lately -- are a lot of people trackball adverse or what?

ARTIFACT:

Do you want to play PC games on your cab, is that why you want a keyboard?

As Green Giant said, once you have your menus setup, you won't need a keyboard...

I went for a bluetooth wireless keyboard+mouse for my cab... I just reach for it IF I need to dive in Windows to grab some files, etc... But that's RARE really.
