I'm using a razer blackwidow ultimate with my laptop when i'm at home (*not* the best choice for a laptop, but i need the backlight sometimes, and its nice having a full sized keyboard for serious assignment writing sessions), and it works fine with a standard, non powered USB hub (which, i need cause cable management is a pain with 4 cables - but mechanical keyboard + god knows how many backlight lEDs means a normal non backlit keyboard should work fine). Standard USB plugs are PRETTY tough, or you could, presumably use it with a sacrificial USB hub or cable.
Granted, not had issues with the logitechs in my dad's office, or the one on my desktop, so YMMV
