I have read this and a couple other threads and the wiki, but there are a few things that don't seem clear at least to me.
Usb sticks:
1) can I use usb2 or do I need usb3 stick?
2) size of stick 4, 8, or 16 G?
keyboard:
1) use a wired or wireless (usb2) to flash and install other OS?
memory upgrade;
1) specs for an additional 2G, what voltage for ddr3-1600?

any USB stick should work at this point. I'd recommend having 3 -- 1 for ChromeOS recovery, 1 for firmware backup, 1 for OS install
some keyboards, both wired/wireless, have issues working on the dev mode boot screen only. I know a logitech K400 will not work, but a K360 does. Once an OS is loaded everything is fine though.
ddr3-12800 1.35v. dual-voltage 1.35v/1.5v RAM should work (I'm using a dual voltage Crucial stick)
