The problem is that it's impossible to type on because the feel is so poor.

I used Extended Keyboard IIs through a Griffin adapter until I got a 
KVM switch that wants real USB in its keyboard input (IOGear 4-port 
Miniview). The MacAlley iKey is 99% as good, so I use those now.

Keyboards are all stable.

The Extended Keyboard II is the best keyboard for typing on, in my 
opinion. I think it qualifies as great. Remember, it sold for $150. 
There was a smaller Apple keyboard that felt just as good, but it 
didn't have as many buttons.

I have about 10 keyboards and various mice in my garage in all shapes 
and sizes, but I only use one. It's ridiculous.
