You know as with actual buttons as opposed to a game pad type controls.

I know ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 had keyboards. Anything else?

If we're counting the ZX and C64 as consoles, what is the PC demarcation?

Dreamcast had a full-size keyboard.

Xbox360 had the chat pad, that attached to the controller.

Ps2 supported USB keyboard for some stuff.

This, FFXI was really big in the PS2 era for being a functional console MMO

Odyssey^2, though it was more like the console itself had a built-in keyboard.

TRS-80 and Colecovision Adam had keyboards, but they also had controllers (though... having a hard time remembering the TRS-80 controller if it had one... maybe it just used the keyboard...? but I'm pretty sure you could sit back from the console and relax and play)
(no wait now I remember it was a single joystick with one button or something like that.)
