Last time I tried with two random USB keyboards - one from Logitech and 
one from Chicony, I don't remember the exact PIDs, but could look them up 
if it is interesting for someone.

What I have been seeing with both these keyboards was: if connected to 
UHCI controller, root hub not auto-suspended, as soon as they got 
autosuspended, and keys were pressed on them rapidly, very often some 
keypressess got lost. I didn't experience this on OHCI, but I remember 
Alan saying that he triggered it on OHCI too, right?

Seemed like a timing issue - by lowering the polling timeout we were able 
to make things much better, but that of course costs us more power etc. 
and it's even not sure if it is an ultimate solution.
