In the handbook you can find USB device examples for keyboard only here or for a combined keyboard and mouse here. The generic USB HID libs may be a startingpoint also. However, when you are looking for USB Host functions to connect a keyboard to mbed a good startingpoint would be this page

Alternatively, you can use the 'old' style PS2 keyboard as shown here
