From a few different angles, this is what the bottom of my standard ca.2005 "comes-free-with-the-computer" Dell wired keyboard has looked like, since I got it second-hand with one of the legs missing.

That odd little doohickey on the bottom there is a 3M Command System Wire Hook (also sold as Utensil Hooks), folded the wrong way around and slightly abused into the right shape. In their normal/supported configuration, they look like this:

With all due respect to the binder-clip method advocated by Oxinabox, in my experience the clips have a tendency to bend or pop out, and not actually support the keyboard all that well. They may also not lay at the proper angle, depending how the keyboard base is moulded.

You'll note that my hackfoot isn't placed in the same position as the original foot — that's because it's actually being used in concert with the "official" foot on the other end of the keyboard, which is slightly taller. The shorter hackfoot, mounted a bit farther towards the keyboard's center of mass, supports the keyboard as the same angle as the original foot.

It took me a bit of trial-and-error to find the correct placement for the hook, and as you can see by the fact that it's slightly bent I had to do a little "percussive adjustment" to get the fit exactly right, but the end result turned out to be amazingly stable, with absolutely no wobble at all. I was surprised myself, honestly, but I've been using it this way for years and most of the time I forget it's even there.

As an added bonus, because I mounted it with a 3M Command adhesive strip, the hook is removable and recoverable whenever I decide to get rid of the keyboard. (In theory, assuming I remember. I'm the sort of person who's always having to whip out the straightened paper clip, because I forgot to remove the media from an optical drive before I disconnected and removed it.)
