To give you an idea, and I can't say how accurate it is, apart from looking at the mfr's specs for the keyboard (either by website or the underside), you may try checking Windows XP's device manager to get the ma rating.
Right-click
on
My Computer
Select
Manage
from the context menu
Click on
Device Manager
in the lefthand pane
Click on the
+
next to
Universal Serial Bus controllers
in the righthand pane
Find any of the
USB Root Hub
items and
double-click
it
Click on the
Power
tab at the top
Any USB peripheral connected to that port will be itemized in the lower box, indicating the name/type of device and its power requirement
I can't attest to the accuracy of XP's USB device power detection, but its a start.
