There are several keyboards that have a 2-port hub built in. Aaron, Jeff and
I were looking at several for thin client work at schools.  One has a high
speed port on the top of the keyboard so a thumbdrive is visible and harder
for kids to leave behind.
The happy hacker keyboard I have at work has a pair of ports on the back.
