You answered your own question.  If your USB device(s) are rated more than
.1 amps, then you can't use the keyboard you're talking about for the USB
device(s).  Check the amperage usage of your anticipated USB device(s)
before making a decision.  I'll assume you have USB legacy support for the
USB keyboard in dos (boot diskette), and you're running some current version
of windows.
