: I was wondering does anyone know if the dreamcast keyboard can be used as a controller?
No the *Dreamcast* keyboard cannot be used as a controller. However...

: could be used to connect up existing keyboard hacks.
Yes, this adapter will work, it has a special mode that lets you use a PC keyboard as a controller, I've used it. However you'll need a programable encoder probably, as the keymap isn't Mame standard. Also, you are limited to only one player per encoder :(
