Usually Google is ignoring the Meta Keyword Tag. You can keep two to three keywords in your Meta Keyword Tag.
Some of the other SE's crawl the KW, but Google does not. I've only used the Meta description for the last few years.
If you are working hard on a site then why dont you add just a simple tags which is 140 character even it is ignored by google these days but the other engines are also matters in terms of traffic.
If you care about Bing and other search engines it might be worth adding meta keywords. Otherwise as many of the answers said Google doesn't utilize it for the ranking. As far as number of character goes, it's important to make it no spammy and keyword stuffing. So 3 keywords would be a good number to aim for.
Everything I have read indicates to keep it under 124 characters. Although google apparently ignores keywords, other search engines do not. Therefore, I believe you should continue to use them. Besides, I believe it helps keep me organized and on track in terms of SEO to use them consistently across all my webpages....I think consistency is the key
