Turns out there is a significant amount of keyboard work that you have to do at the machine so that you can set up Mame Software, the front end, buttons, LEDs, etc..

I had no real good way to use the keyboard and mouse and control panel…

So I came up with this.. A clip-on keyboard shelf.  Made out of all scrap I had laying around and $3.29 worth of ‘L’ brackets,

The metal ‘L’ brackets slide over the face of my CP box..

I cut the blocking to match the angle of the CP and carpeted the face of the supports that press against the CP front.  While I was at it – I added a back edge to keep things from sliding off.

Much easier!!  It will fit inside the cabinet for storage too once the keyboard works slows.. (if it ever slows..)
