 actually we have a method to solve this on a per-device basis:
 
 sys/dev/usb/usb_quirks.h:54:#define UQ_ALWAYS_ON   0x100000       /* for m=
 ice that keep disconnecting */
 
 sys/dev/usb/usb_quirks.c: { USB_VENDOR_CHICONY,         USB_PRODUCT_CHICON=
 Y_OPTMOUSE0939,       ANY,
 sys/dev/usb/usb_quirks.c:       { UQ_ALWAYS_ON, NULL }},
 
 adding this keybaord to the quirks list should fix the problem
 without having to run X or something.
