    Mac Keyboard USB Port Speed

    If I have my white MAC OEM keyboard (I assume it uses USB 1.1?) into a 2.0 port and then plug a 2..o device into the built-in hub on the keyboard will I achieve 2.0 speed? or will the keybaod become a 1.1 bottleneck?

    i.e. connecting your shuffle to your keyboard which is plugged into a 2.0 port

    The USB ports on Apple keyboards are USB 1.1 ports. If you plug a USB 2.0 device into them, they will run at the slower USB 1.1 speeds.
