Normally, I take these hints in the spirit given.  In this case, I'm
afraid I cannot.

This is one of the most inutterably stupid ideas I've ever heard.  Why
don't you imagine the scenarios with which we, your clients are faced.  "No
problem Mr. CEO, just try unplugging your keyboard then plug it back in".
Uh-huh.  I like my job. I want to keep my job.  My company demands top
performance from me for each dollar.  I demand top performance for the
several thousands of dollars I have invested in your product.

Either get your product right, or admit you can't do it and give us a
refund.  Just be honest with us; I can accept failure.  I cannot and will
not accept the continued levels of deception evidenced by the pervasive
defects in the software.
