My keyboard has 2 USB ports, I can plug a mouse into and it?s fine. If I plug a web cam into it, it complains about low power...I guess this is common...anyone know if there are any keyboards out there which could take like a USB web cam or scanner??
 
When you start splitting the USB line like that, you need a powered USB hub for just about anything except a real low powered device.

 
Each USB plug has 500mA of power.
Unpowered hubs will give the power to whoever wants it.
Powered hubs will give 500mA to each plug.

I don't know of any keyboards with powered hubs built-in.
