  It's already possible.  A keyboard takes an ADB port.  There are two on
the back, plus the keyboard has two ports, so that ADB devices can be
daisy-chained.  Anyway, you can hook as many as 11 keyboards to the Mac,
leaving two IDs for the ADB controllers and one for the mouse.
  In fact, your application can even check to see which keyboard is
being used and do different things with different keyboard's inputs.
