Perfect Arcade Cabinet Keyboard (I think)
shateredsoul:
What kind of batteries does it use? Seriously though.. if that's an issue buy these rechargeable batteries http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.487 The charger is about 14 dollars and these batteries last forever. I have energizer and Panasonic rechargeable batteries, and although they did work the batteries always ran out quite quickly with digital cameras and devices. Not these. They also have a AAA versions. The best part is that this company takes paypal.. just be prepared to wait about 3 weeks for delivery (it's being sent from China). I have my wireless mouse, keyboard, xbox 360 controllers, logitech controller, sony digital came, beard trimmer, all working great off these batteries. The best part is that you hardly have to change them.
*edit* ark_ader .. I'm not sure why you've had those issues, my wireless hp kb can go into bios just fine.

I don't have the link available right now, but there's a small keyboard that has a touchpad at the bottom, is wireless, and the keys are like a blacberry's keyboard. The entire thing is about the size of a calculator and it runs something like $40.
I think THAT is by far the perfect Arcade Cab keyboard. can be hidden in the coin box it was so small.

Something like that, but I saw it on another site in white.

You have to have a PS2 plugged in to get into BIOS. I'm sure someone out there will prove me wrong, but nothing has worked up to now. Crap I have to do that for my main PC. :o

I think you'll find that almost everyone would disagree with you. Afterall USB keyboards are the primary form of keyboard sold with new PCs. If the majority of PC users had lost the ability to go into the BIOS to change settings, you'd have heard something by now. It'd be kinda a big deal. :P

My six year old main computer has a wireless USB keyboard connected and I have no problems getting into the BIOS. Maybe some really old PCs might have a BIOS that cannot detect a USB keyboard. I believe mine has a setting in the BIOS to enable USB keyboard. If not then I know I've had a PC that had that setting because I recall the first time I used it I had to track down a PS2 keyboard to get into the BIOS for the first time. Once I enabled USB keyboard support I didn't have a problem from that point forward. Shouldn't be an issue with any reasonably recent BIOS as USB keyboards have become the standard (heck, I'm sure there are plenty of newer PCs without PS2 inputs at all.)
1UP:
Where are the function keys? Don't think I'd want to configure Mame with that. But I like the one from the OP. :) I have one similar that has an analog stick instead of the trackball. Really convenient, I just keep it on top of the cab where you don't see it.
