No, but I've made a full scale replica of the Eiffel Tower using popsicle sticks once.


What godforsaken reason could you possibly have to do that???? A keyboard is like 5 bucks not to mention you'd have to be King Kong to use the button spacing.

Thankyou, a truly bizzare first post.
Please explain yourself young man or prepare for a sound thrashing.

Well, I considered it...

I was going to do it so I could play EQ on my cabinet...

but that was when that was my only game machine.

But I have hotswappable control panel... and thought one that was a full keyboard / mouse would be fun... but I can't do it easily with my keyboard encoder...   So I would have to have a different connection then the rest of my control panels

I have been thinking of using the smallest pushbuttons I can find to make a mini-keyboard for my cabinet to play You Don't Know Jack...
