Since I wanted to pretty up the tabletop for the joystick and mouse, I made a shelf with a couple of hinges, along with some angled wood pieces for the shelf to rest on. Then I installed another shelf along with a bracket taken from a plastic keyboard drawer for the keyboard to sit on which can retract into the cabinet.
The keyboard was an old one I had that still used a PS2 connector, but it had an analog dial for volume control.
Now it doesn't look quite so ghetto. For the escape function, I took a modified mouse on a pedestal that my Dad used to control the movies he watched and reprogrammed the mousewheel to act as an Escape key. It'll do temporarily.
