Normal keyboard, mouse, USB 2.0 flash drive run in 5v, 100mA current (0.5W power) - It is written in their specification. But USB 3.0 is specified to supply 5v, 900mA current (4.5W power). So will keyboard, mouse, USB 2.0 flash drive be damaged if I plug in them in USB 3.0 for long time ?
Thanks in advance.

No because the devices only draw as much power as they need, USB 2 and 3 are backwards (and I guess forwards in this case) compatible. It'll work as expected mate, best of luck :)
