yeah the ability to use usb keyboards has been available for a while now, that's why i was a bit confused.
yeah i know i've heard that a few don't work, but as far as i know as long as the keyboard doesn't need a program installed to work it will be fine for Wii(some wireless keyboards come with a disc and you have to load the program to your computer before it will work, so obviously those will not work for Wii)
