I've not used one -- but a friend has (not sure of the brand),
and he has this warning:
The Sun keyboard is right-hand end out when in the rack, and the
"suspend" '(!)' key is right where your thumb falls gripping the
keyboard to pull it out.
I would suggest adding a booster spring under the key, or a
piece of shim stock under it, to keep it from being unintentionally
depressed. Especially since the Sun Blade 100 can only be suspended,
and not re-awakened, thanks to the USB keyboard interface.
Good Luck,
DoN.
