Wow, that is cool.  I'll have to consider that.  I would like someting with volume control though.  My cab is such that I don't have physical access to a volume knob for the speakers so I have to control the volume through Windows.  Wife jumped all over me last night for playing Donkey Kong after the kids were in bed.

I prefer my cheaper solution:

Just roll it up and leave it in the area behind the coin door.

This would be perfect if there were a TAB key somewhere.  :(  However, for maintenance I could always hold the Player 1 start and press the coin (5) button to acess the tab menu if I had to.  Hmm.

As for the folding keyboards, those are great, but I'm really looking for something that has a mouse input device built in.

I think the option you posted should work fine for the needs you specified. If you buy it, let us know what you think.

Necro:
I'm guessing with a bit of AHK ingenuity you could get the one I posted basically doing what you needed.  If you're going to do hardcore stuff - just whip out a real keyboard and plug it in.  The intent of this was having something readily available that you could do a few tweaks with.  Definitely not going to replace a 'real' KB/mouse combo for getting everything setup from scratch.
