USB keyboards and mice are supported by USB_HID, which is a module
included in the archlinux kernel.
USB_KBD and USB_MOUSE are non-generic HID Boot Protocol drivers, and
not what you want to use unless you're using arch in some very
specific embedded situations - in which case, you should already know
this.
