Yup, don't get me started on keyboards. I have a USB keyboard, which is great, but when you buy a new motherboard, USB keyboard support always seems to be *disabled in the BIOS* by default. So what do you do? Go and steal your neighbour's old PS2 keyboard, use it to get in to the BIOS to change one parameter, then plug in your USB keyboard again. Ridiculous - why do they do this??
