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. :-)
