Best external keyboard with additional USB hubs?

I've been checking around and it seems like the latest MS keyboards and Logitech don't have additional USB ports.
I finally noticed that certain IBM external keyboards have 2 additional ports. Does anyone have strong opinions about the IBM keyboards?
Can anyone recommend other manufactures of ext. keyboards with additional USB ports?

I got the IBM USB travel keyboard (the trackpoint, not touchpad version), with a 2-port hub. It is an excellent keyboard, with a feel similar to a "desktop thinkpad" keyboard. My only gripe is that the trackpoint is quite high and hurts your finger after you have used it for some hours. If you are planning to use an external mouse too, go for it. If not, I do not recommend it for daily usage.

Can you tell me the part number? The only IBM Travel Keyboard on their website has a touchpad.
