Hi, I believe that Apple discourages connecting keyboards through USB hubs. In the past, such a configuration could actually cause significant erratic behaviour and sometimes other very undesirable OS difficulties. This was years ago so it's possible that things have changed but I would recommend that you always leave the keyboard connected directly and use the USB hub for non-essential devices.
