That should work.
I'd be shocked if they hadn't included drivers for generic USB keyboards.
We already know it will work with thumbdrives and external hard drives through the full-size USB2.0 port so keyboards should work. Driver availability for USB devices is going to be crucial here.
Being able to plug in USB scanners and printers would elevate the Surface RT above media consumption tablets into real PC territory like the Surface Pro to come. (And other Win 8 tablets.) Hopefully reviewers will do their homework and review the new tablets as PCs rather than merely as media pads.
