Latest firmware upgrade adds USB keyboard support

Thank goodness! All of a sudden, browsing the web on the Wii doesn’t seem like such a pointless novelty to me anymore. Well, just as soon as Nintendo updates the Internet Channel to support the newfound support of keyboards.

The keyboard support has been spotty, with some people gleefully confirming that their own keyboards work, while others say “no way, man.” I would test my own keyboard, but that is pretty hard to do when you are stuck on a Powerbook. Does your USB keyboard work?

Now bring on that USB hard drive support.

    Does this mean we can now use USB keyboards with the Internet Channel?

    If not, what’s the point of being able to use a USB keyboard until then?
