I have Microsoft USB Explorer Touch mouse. It works fine, but when I
plug out its (wireless) USB dongle, keyboard also stops working.
Plugging the dongle back in enables the keyboard again. Plugging in some
other USB mouse instead doesn't make keyboard work again.
There were two keyboard devices defined before this mouse was first
plugged in: kbd0 at atkbd0 and kbd1 at kbdmux0, see messages below.
This mouse defines the new keyboard device kbd2 at ukbd0.
When the dongle is plugged out, these two items (kbd2 at ukbd0)
disappear from /dev, leaving all the same devices that existed before.
Except keyboard becomes disfunctional.
What could be a problem with this USB mouse? Looks like it interacts
with the previous setup and leaves something modified when plugged out.

PS: This of course isn't the major usability issue since, when plugged
in, everything works. Nevertheless, I can't plug it out without losing
the keyboard.
