The point is that USB keyboards and mouses are supposed to come in two flavours: Boot and HID-Report. The Boot devices do not Report its configuration and the driver needs to use one by default. This is whan usbmouse was for, and it should be also a "usbkeyboard" around. On the other hand, HID-reported drivers are able to understand any input device.

I guess I am not telling anything you have not learn already! But just in case.
