I have't tried yet, but my favourite right now is the "USB ABU-ABU" adapter here
(it has two A-style female sockets) and just use two normal "A-male to 
mini-male" USB cables
to connect to an external hub (or just the FR usb cable plus this adapter 
directly to 
the keyboard cable):

unfortuneately the image does not show that specific type of adapter,
but A-female to A-female plus normal cable IMHO should be the way to go!?!

or do we need one X (cross) cable to be used with such an adapter ?!

I've just added a link to the page describing the adapters.

Remember that this is not a true OTG port.

Do a search on e-bay for "USB Female A To USB Mini" and you will find 
several. There where some on Amazone also, but they only shipped to US.

Suitable USB converter

2008-09-10 Thread Atilla Filiz
Have you found any cheap cables/adapters to connect normal usb peripherals
to the usb OTG port? A keyboard will be extremely useful at home.
