Yep... whatever can be said of their software, Microsoft has a history
of making good mice and keyboards. I'm typing this on the ergonomic
keyboard I bought sometime around fifteen years ago - it's outlasted 4
PCs so far, and still going strong.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect so. Everything about X device
configuration long predates USB or any kind of complex input devices, so
a new designed-from-scratch system like Wayland is likely to be built
entirely around hot-plugging - device shows up, udev notifies whatever
component is responsible for such things, and it will register the
device with whatever configuration sources are available.
