Pixel cuts power to my keyboard

Here's a new anomaly for the Pixel. Posting this in case someone else with a Pixel notices their keyboard failing without explanation... I have a Pixel 128. My keyboard is connected to my PC; it's an ergo keyboard by Kinesis. (I've had Kinesis keyboards for years--they're the best). When I rest my Pixel on the keyboard, it cuts the power to the keyboard! I called Kinesis customer support. The guy is always there and always fabulous. He was as surprised as me. The solution is to unplug the keyboard, then plug it back in, and don't put the Pixel on the keyboard.
