Would I have any reason to avoid peripheral override software such as KeyRemap4MacBook or SteerMouse? Has either been known to cause stability issues of any sort in OS X?
Got a tip for us?

Not in general, although there can be conflicts with other software at times. Just definitely only use one such product at a time to minimize conflicts.
I've used KeyRemap4MacBook myself, as well as DoubleCommand. Both seemed to work well, except that DoubleCommand stopped working when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Not sure if it's been updated now.

Thanks for your response. I assume there aren't likely to be conflicts between KeyRemap4MacBook and SteerMouse, given that they affect different peripherals? I'm trying to optimize my clamshelled MBP setup with a Filco keyboard and Logitech mouse, which will of course require customization, but I also don't want a crash-ridden debacle.
Dunno for sure, but I suspect you're right. If not, you know what to uninstall to find out if it's causing problems.
