First, let me suggest that you hook up either Circus Atari or Kaboom
and see if you get any jiggle in your player while using the paddles.
If you do get a jiggle, you need to clean the paddles some and then try
it over again. When the player doesn't jiggle on one of these games,
you have good, clean paddles.
Second, I have had some problems getting the keyboard controllers to
be stable when I read them the first few times. It hasn't caused a
problem yet, but it could be a problem related to the problem you are
having.
