Why not use a Teensy? http://pjrc.com/teensy. You can set it to emulate a USB keyboard very easily: plug the Teensy into your Beaglebone and your I2C into the Teensy, and you're done - no drivers required. They're nice little boards and very well supported, I've used them for a few projects, and others have used them for exactly what you're describing - check the list of projects.
