Looking for a new Keyboard w/ USB hub

[smittenkitty]

Ever since I started using the Logitech Revolution mouse, I have been searching for a new keyboard to go with it. I was going to hold out for the Optimus, but since they sold out with no color and a ridiculous price tag, that's out of the question. I have found, however, that because my tower is beneath my desk, there I get interference when my legs are underneath the table as well, resulting is very choppy mouse movements. Thus, I'm looking for a good keyboard that has a USB port on it, so that I can plug in the mouse's USB receiver.

Any suggestions? I don't really have a price range - I'm willing to pay for a good keyboard.

Thanks!

Why not just get a small, self-powered USB hub? Then you aren't limited in your choices.

I thought about that and it's still an option. Just figured that if I could get a good keyboard with a USB hub, I could kill two birds with one stone and not have an extra thing lying around on my desk.

The thing is, hubs in keyboards are powered from the PC, so you can't hook much to it that has any kind of power draw. Whereas a self-powered hub can have up to a couple amps depending on the wall wart you use. I suppose it would be enough for a kbd and mouse though.

Also, all (three) keyboards I've seen so far that do have a USB hub inside aren't USB2 High Speed capable, limiting things to ye olde USB 1.x transfer speeds. This doesn't matter at all for keyboard, mouse and gamepad (which is what I'm using them for), but for a camera or a memory stick, it will matter.
