My home sim pales in comparison to the creative masterpieces in this thread, but I have solved my big bulky keyboard problem. I wanted to Velcro my big keyboard to the base of my Dell 30" monitor, but it required the monitor to be 2" farther away from my face due to "between the knees" control stick interference. This of course, causes a reduced apparent screen size. Like all things, closer looks bigger. I use reading glasses to sharpen the focus.
The keyboard is a Rosewill RIKB-11001 X-Slim Keyboard with Low Profile Chiclet Keycap Design, available for $9.99 (US) at a popular online merchant. This thing is a full size USB 104 key board mounted in he smallest conceivable package. It velcro's perfectly on the base of my Dell U3011 monitor and except for no internal key lighting is perfect for flight sim management. My big, wireless keyboard continues to work at the same time so no convenience is lost. It's a real win-win combination.

Here is my cockpit. I decided on a more universal approach as I play space combat sims like Freespace 2 Open and soon to be Star Citizen as well as some racing. I used a button template overlay system to change labels quickly between sims. It is a work in progress but almost finished.
