I figure even if the typing is slow (or even sketchy) it'll probably be okay since I really just want to have the keyboard attached as a sort of 'backup' option so I can type things (tweak ini files or whatever) in a pinch.

It should do fine for what you want.  Personally, if I just wanted a backup, I would mount the KeyWiz where I could easily unplug it and plug in a keyboard.

That's how I do it.

I don't have to connect a KB all that often, so I just shut the machine down and switch devices when I do. I can get to the KB port from m coind door or I can pull the machine out and get to it from the back. It doesn't take long enough that I have ever considered more equipment or any other solution.

I have one of these Belkin PS2 keyboard splitters that I've been meaning to try out. It lets you plug in two keyboards and use them simultaneously. I would imagine using a keyboard and a KeyWiz would be fine with it.

I have a 4-port powered USB hub mounted under my control panel overhang, and I use that to plug in a USB keyboard when I need it.
