Seems to be the most comfortable solution, fortunately no USB is sharing
IRQ with my pro audio sound devices ;). So for me it could be an
advantage, by getting rid of a PS/2 IRQ, it's said, that it should be
possible by the BIOS. The IRQ doesn't cause issues, but anyway, the
less, the better.
Some people's professional audio devices share IRQs with USB and AFAIK
that's the more worse, the more USB is used.
