Are there any (atleast) semi-decent keyboards with USB ports?

[UnatcoAgent]

I'd really like to get a namebrand keyboard that has a built in USB port on the side (like Apple's, go figure they've done it :roll😉

Are there any ones you can recommend?

Logitech G15? Though it's only USB 1.1 so I don't make much use of it.

My MS keyboard has 2 USB ports on it. Its an old one though and they don't make it anymore (MS internet keyboard pro).

The Microsoft Natural Pro's included 2 USB ports, but yah... discontinued. Replaced by the Ergonomic 4000, but no USB hub 🙁

Enermax makes a couple of stylish aluminum keyboards with USB ports, but they're only USB 1.1.

I'm digging this Enermax kb! The build quality is excellent, Easily the best I've seen. 2 USB ports (I think it's 1.1, but it makes no practical difference to me) and headphone and mic jacks on the side of the kb. usb and audio wires are in a single cable. There's no "enhancement" keys, strictly 104 button classic layout, and no F- Lock. The buttons themselves are notebook-style, but better. No shaky drivers needed either. The only improvement I'd suggest is adding basic multimedia and volume.

You could always buy an Apple keyboard, they work in PCs ya know.

I think this is because PCs these days have USB ports all over them. Mine has 4 at the back and up to 6 from headers. And monitors seem to come with them too nowadays.

pretty much. although it shouldn't be difficult to mod a keyboard and put a hub there. i remeber an article in pc magazine where they took a keyboard, added a hub and an RFID reader.

That actually sounds like a rather interesting idea. And why not a card reader while you're at it? Hmm...
