well, turns out the keyboards chip is a Cypress cy7c63413, USB keyboard controller with 18row, 8 column matrix, and a built in PS2 mouse controller on it. hooking up a ps2 mouse would be as easy as connecting the vcc and ground to the same ones coming in from the USB and connecting pins 3 and 38 to the ps2 mouses data and clock lines.

there are a metric butload of available pins on this thing, so I am sure I will be able to unlock additional keys, and remap those silly macro buttons at the top to something I want them to be.

does anyone else here have trouble posting? it seems like the longer the post is that I type, the more likely it will be that it will just vanish when I try to post.
serves me right for not copying it to notepad before I hit the dreaded post button...
