For what it's worth, I have found USB keyboards to be much less
susceptible to RF. That may be just a quirk at my station, but it's
worth keeping in mind. On 160 meters, my regular keyboard locks up
instantly but my USB keyboard is OK. Two different keyboards have
worked the same way.
A USB keyboard has one tiny problem however: They can not access your
BIOS during bootup in order to make changes, or at least mine can't.
Don't throw away your conventional keyboard just yet. :-)
