It would be a good thing to integrate them with the
wscons code. So they would show up as additional
minor devices of "wskbd" or "wsmouse", delivering
"wscons_event" structures (see wsconsio.h).

I know little about USB keyboards - do they emit the same
scancodes as the normal PC keyboards?
And how do they behave when used as console - is there
a complete hardware emulation? (If yes, how does the
driver find out that the standared keyboard and the USB one
are the same device in reality?)
However, I'm sure a lot of code can be shared.

The wscons code is still in development. If there show
up new needs, it should be extended.
I'd like to have a look at your code to see how it
could be integrated.
