Post the power requirements for the usb keyboard. It should be less than 140mA.
Cheap usb cable issues with raspberry pi:

Im using a 5" Nokia data cable, its all i have, i didnt realise it was the really tiny one, i just saw it mentioned and thought i'd be the common one. Havent tried networking yet, and im just running H2Testw on the eBay SD card to ensure its legit and then i'll have a look.
The USB cable issue really is stupid though, the foundation knew its a problem, there should have been better attempts to either include a cable or have the new distributors offer a bundled card+cable they've ensured is to the required standard. Instead were waiting for people who've got good ones to tell us what they are (brand) and hope they're right about them, and they're not all £30 mobile phone chargers.
