...to make more robust tilt adjuster 'feet' for the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro.  The stock ones are horribly flimsy, and I have a bad tendency to break them in moments when frustration gets the better of me.

I still wish Microsoft hadn't stopped making them, because I still think they're possibly the best "standard" ergonomic keyboard (as against complete redesigns like the Kinesis keyboard) ever made.

I've had some success in the past just screwing stacked rubber feet scavenged from other equipment to the bottom.

Let me know what you come up with. At the moment I've got the Internet Natural (yes, I bit the bullet and bought a Microsoft product, I have *got* to have the split keyboard for my hands, and the only real-Logitech product they had was wireless and $80...) being able to tip this thing forward would be nice (there *are* no feet for that like there were on the previous whatever it was I had)...

And one of these days I'm going to get the extended keyboard daemon to work, too.... it works alreddie in Fedora Core 4, but I gotta figure out a Debianesque way of doing it...

That would be the Logitech wireless keyboard with the weird, asymmetric wireless mouse that looks like it was designed for the nine-tentabled aliens of Planet Zybrox? I'd probably have bought one of those keyboards, if I could have bought a wired model with a relatively normal mouse.
I notice the asymmetric alien mice seem to have mostly disappeared from the shelves. I guess the market didn't like them any better than I do.
