flexible full size keyboard lash-up w/ a curve

I just got a flexible keyboard to see if I could interface with my Curve. It has a regular USB male plug, and would have to be stepped down to fit the data port on the curve. This means I need the right adapter (s) to do the job, and I would love suggestions as to where they might be had. Beyond that, of course, is the question of whether the Curve would recognize the keyboard and be able to interpret its input. Anyone who has a thought on this, or perhaps even experience with interfacing with peripherals are welcome to comment, even if it is to discourage me.

Good luck, but I suspect they are both downstream ports. Without a host, your not going to make a connection.
