No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Ok so I am so unknowledgable about keyboards. They exist all over the place. How cool :D Guess that could've been a google >.>
Googling everything gets boring though. I learned something today from your question :)
I think the more interesting question is why you wouldn't want it, and why it's a standard. Which I think has to do with flexibility, honestly. I use my keyboard on a different surface than my mouse often, and you need your mouse wire to have a surprising amount of lack and a consistent direction towards the back of your table, otherwise you get weird pulls on it and it's more annoying to use.
The reason is probably that it costs slightly more to add an extra USB hub controller to a keyboard. Margins aren't that great when it comes to keyboards (at the low end of the market), so unless you're Apple you're going to try to be cheaper than the competition.
If that were true you'd have started to see more USB passthrough for wired mice in keyboards in the past decade when keyboards went from the 30 bucks throwaway that comes with your computer and you use until it melts and into a big techie status symbol. And you probably would have seen charge USB ports already built into wireless keyboards repurposed for mouse passthrough. Neither is the case.
Instead, I'd argue that a) the erogonomics of your mouse going to your keyboard are bad, and b) wireless mice are the practical next convenient step, as opposed to daisy chaining your wired peripherals.
