Looking for a (USB) Keyboard with a USB hub...any suggestions?

[Noriaki]

I'm looking for a USB Keyboard. I want it to have an extra USB port on it, so I can plug my mouse into it.

I'm looking for a non-natural.

If I decide for the natural I'll use an MS Natural Pro.
I'm looking for one that's straight to comapre to the Pro.

TIA.

That's tough. Good luck with your search.

The Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro is the same as the Natural Keyboard Pro w/o the split keys. USB hub and all.

Check it out.

drewski is right. I have the natural pro and the usbs work great.

Logitech has the iTouch keyboard that also has 2 USBs on it.

Very handy, and USB ports on the back of a KB look MUCH better than USB ports on the FRONT of a case...😛

That they do MCS that they do 😉

Thanks for the suggestions guys 🙂

I've seen the Natural/Cordless version of the Logitech iTouch...

How many programmable buttons does the MS one have?
I see it has a ton of buttons...can you set the functions of them? Or is it preset?

 

[MCS]

You have Back, Forward, Stop, Refresh, Search, Favourites, Web/Home, Mail, Mute, Volume +/-, Play/Pause, Stop, Prev Track, Next Track, Media, My Computer, Calculator and Sleep.

Obviously you can program which browser and mail software the buttons use. The Media button brings up a list of all your media software (surprising that? 🙂). The media controls (play, stop etc) work in the currently running media app.

The My Computer and Calulator buttons are programmable, buts that all. But what else would you program in that isn't already there?

Not much I suppose...but it has a lot of buttons I wouldn't really use...

I'd like IE, Mail, Winamp, Calcuator maybe...Volume, Play/Stop/FF/Rew, and that's about it.

All those internet controls are kind of unneccesary...(I use my middle mouse button for Back, I don't use the others enough to need a button for them).
But then, they wouldn't hurt anything by being there...and I might find a use for them....
