Are there any non Apple branded keyboards that are wired USB with an onboard USB port for the mouse? Seems that all I can find are Apple branded ones.

Well my search is spot on but when your search brings up wired keyboards and there's no further description in there, it's a pain in the ass.
 
Be aware that USB ports on keyboards are not "powered". Meaning that they won't power an external drive, charge your phone, or anything else that requires more than a few mWs.

Now this is cool. I bought a Macally keyboard with two USB 2.0 ports and it WILL charge and sync my iPhone via the keyboard. Nice!
 
re above post:

Could you tell us which one you bought?
