I like the keyboard below the sticks and buttons! Problems with wireless devices can always happen and a direct connection sometimes is the only solution.

I also like your "robot corner"! ;-)

take care,

The wireless solution works surprisingly well. It's a USB dongle and there doesn't seem to be much interference down there, and I seem to have full access to that keyboard even before the OS starts up. As you say though, it's always nice to have a wired solution as a backup. There is definitely redundancy there, with less accessible internal (to the cabinet) options and more accessible external options. I also have a USB wireless N dongle which works quite well, hitting high N speeds consistently. USB is definitely used throughout the cabinet and is one technology that is most welcome for something like that. I've used up all the front and rear USB ports as well, hence the breakout hub under the control panel.
