I'm working on USB device drivers and I've now managed to
talk to a USB mouse and a keyboard.  Now I wonder, what is
"The Right Way"(tm) to make these show up as devices?

I could, of course, make some new devices (like /dev/ums and
/dev/ukbd), but I'd like to try and reuse some of the code
in the kernel like existing mouse and keyboard drivers.
This would be good both for code reuse and for getting
a consistent interface to these devices.

Would the new wscons driver be the right place to hook it in?
Does it support keyboards with no console?
What is the interface to it?  (I must admit that I haven't really
looked at it yet.)
