If this happens, the keyboard driver is probably not successful when
it tries to reset the keyboard (which should cause the keyboard to
send back the "did reset" and "kb type" codes).

One reason reset could fail is a bad cable. (input only?)
Or perhaps the driver is buggy...   If the driver does not get
a "reasonable" keyboard ID, then it could safely assume type 3.
