With Firmware Version 3.00U, which came out today, you can now use USB Keyboards on the Wii, but only for the Wii Message Board and the News Channel (I tested it in Message, I tested it NOT working in Internet browser, it needs to be updated to support the keyboard). I'm using my parents' Dell QuietKey MultiMedia Keyboard (like normal Dell keyboards but with audio controls).

Also in 3.00U:

Clock on menu
Disc slot glows when disk inserted/removed
Forecast and News channels show previews of latest content/forecast on their icon

Note...if you have a modchip, this might cause your Wii to become useless...so it's a good thing I don't have a modchip, it said that this update prevented modchips from running.

I read that modchips survived, but that freeloader didn't.

Good to know about the keyboards. I wonder if GC keyboard will work.
