Add a Flexible Keyboard to your MAME cab

Ya I bought a blue one.
Its another one of those cool things to do when people come over & crap themselves over the arcade for even just existing.
Then when you pull out a flexible keyboard from Die Hard they cry.

Got one of these flexible keyboards off eBay after seeing this thread. It's not too shabby.
I removed my previously-installed mini keyboard. I was never able to get it completely hidden or on slides to get it out of the way as much as I wanted, when it wasn't in use:

So I yoinked out the hard keyboard & pugged in the flexible keyboard & rolled it up & tucked it into the coin bucket. Plenty of cable length to bring it out onto my panel (just need to avoid closing the coin door on the cable & squishing the cord!). Works adequately well. Noticed that it's missing a handful of handy keys (Page Up, Page Down, Number Lock, & a few others). Oh well, no matter.
I recommend it. The price can't be beat!
Thanks,
