This assumes the keyboard and mouse have separate / dedicated 2.4 GHz
wireless dongles.  There are plenty of keyboard / mouse combos which share
the same wireless dongle.  I've tested several of them with my PX3.  Of
course, the PX3 ignores the mouse HID report at the moment, however, the
keyboard HID report is interpreted just fine.

USB hub support is certainly preferred, allowing users more flexibility in
selecting their keyboard and mouse.  As we've noted in the past, USB hub
support would allow a thumb drive to be connected with the keyboard and
mouse.  For example, a unique key combination could be used to capture the
P3 / PX3 screen to the thumb drive.  The P3 / PX3 currently supports the
ability to capture the screen, however, you first must remove the keyboard
dongle and insert the thumb drive.

I suspect many (most?) users would be content with only Mouse-n-Click QSY
(no keyboard).  This wouldn't require USB hub support.
