Don't they make a USB extention cable? I've seen tham at school, but I think they came with our Power macs. I'm sure a tiny usb cable could stuff behind the center post on that Apex stand. I've had them in the past, but I had to move away from them because of the 2 awkward "knockover" points that it has. The shape just doesn't do it for me, but Donny hardly leaves the kb alone at his 1 hr shows, and his clients are so poilte ( AKA "old" ) at his Thursday night dance, that no one messes with his gear if he's on break! I always woried about some drunk falling into my gear and knocking the darn thing over.
