Anyone ever seen a USB keyboard like this?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a specialty USB keyboard that has just a single row of 4 to 12 keys. I would like to use this above my control panel to map functions (such as game settings, exit game, etc.) while playing a game. I use MAME32 and have a keyboard attached, but it's hidden in a drawer, so I have to use the control panel (which uses an IPAC) and button combinations (such as Player1 + Player2 = ESC = exit game) to manipulate the game. i'd much rather have a few dedicated keys available for these functions. Has anyone seen a specialty keyboard like this? I know that i can buy a USB numeric keypad for cheap, but i don't have that kind of room above my CP for it, and I'd rather just have a row of keys. Anyone have a better idea for how to facilitate this functionality? Thanks!

Sounds like you'll be Building Your Own Arcade Controls

That's what i'm afraid of. I guess i have a few unused inputs left, now I have to find the time to do this. . .
