[Elecraft] K2/K3: Keyboard to CW possible with KUSB and no computer?

Does the KUSB option allow you to connect a USB keyboard to the K3 (or K2
for that matter) and perform keyboard-to-CW without the aid of a PC
inbetween?

If not, would this be a relatively easy future enhancement to either rig? (I
know there isn't much K2 development going on... just asking)

I know USB doesn't often play well with CW timing, but maybe a buffer could
help even at the cost of a slight delay from keypress to CW output.

The benefits of being able to do keyboard CW without the PC involved are
less power and noise, less equipment, more efficient, more portable...
