Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix a wobbly keyboard? Thank you very much for your time.

Get some of the waffle-like rubber shelf liner from Wal-Mart and cut a piece to fit.

my desk isn't flat, so I folded a business card in half and slid it under my lightsaver until it didn't wobble. I imagine a large mouse mat would work too.

If it wobbles diagonally, you should be able to grasp diagonally opposite corners of the keyboard and give it a little twist.
I did that with one of mine (can't remember which one now) - wobble gone!

I just tried this on my lightsaver with aluminium case, It didn't work. maybe I'm not twisting hard enough?

Probably the aluminium case :))
Mine had a plastic case (as all my keyboards do), and a plate. Didn't take much force to twist it very slightly.

If your desk is uneven, get some thin self-stick felt pads, hardware store, and level your keyboard to
fit your desktop. Or you can level your desktop in any way you choose; then add a piece of flat wood
sheeting, make sure the sheeting is not warped, and affix it to your level desktop.

post it or business card

Thank you very much for the tip. I tried that method today and it worked perfectly!

My god, you are a wizard! That worked completely!

I think he trolled you!

I think so too.
Although the same principal should apply - you just have to twist a LOT harder :))

My Das we twisted pretty bad after using it with a fairly thick mouse pad under one side due to my keyboard tray not being wide enough for those and my Orbweaver. So when I moved my keyboard to the top of my desk I just put a stack of paper under one foot and gradually removed a sheet or two. After a while it was straight again.
