I bought a new waterproof industrial dustproof keyboard from ebay awhile back for my Cincinatti Arrow 500 VMC retrofit. It has been great and has a built in touchpad and number keypad. The only complaint that I have heard about it is that it is not a standard size and sometimes if you are doing a lot of typing/programming it is difficult to hit the keys right. Altho this one is perfect for my needs and what I do with it. Initially I had plans to mount it to the pedant face but honestly I will probably make some sort of custom tilt tray that secured to the bottom of the pendant face and it will be good to go. So far it has been very reliable and the touchpad seems to be pretty good even in the chip and coolant prone environment. Here is a link to the same model or at least it looks exactly like mine does. Peace
