Did you look on the back? The Apple Keyboard has 2 USB 1.1 ports on the back.

Does this make it EXTREMELY slow if you attach a usb drive to it?
What possible use is there for the USB 1.1 except to add a mouse?

Thanks.

Mouse and other input devices (I've used ShuttlePro, Wacom tablets). Other small peripherals that don't require power or high speed, like printers.
