Over the 5 and 6 buttons I was going to have cylendars that the coin would hit, and then fall off to the sides in a bin that was over the other keys. Sounds crazy, but from my tests a quarter dropped from 2 inches would trigger the key (laptop keyboard). Try it out yourself for a lark :D
Oh well, now I actually have the real deal and see no real reason to make a ridiculous contraption....

That's funny. Should rig up a chute and a moving keyboard like those games at Chuck E Cheese. Tell people if they drop in a quarter and it hits the right key then they can play a game...

Hmm, could be a neat idea... Maybe even have different keys give different numbers of credits... :D

HAhaha thats some funny ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---! You would have to have a plexy glass window with a light so they could see where the coin hits. Hmmm. Gambling and an arcade together! I like it!!
Dern back to the drawing board! ;D

Looks easy to build, better than a cardboard one ;).

THAT is genius. Probably not too hard to hook up some kind of switch either. Bookmarked.
