While I can't seem to think of a solution of the top of my head....
Sammy had an older video [0] which showed a device that was not a keyboard acting like a keyboard & mouse. While that required an unlocked computer to function, I feel like adding exceptions to a rule would just make it worse.
Another solution would be to sign USB devices (for example, Apple keyboards etc.) and only those signed devices would work when the computer was locked.

Are you proposing DRM for input devices? How would this fix the problem of "Oops, messed up my keyboard, now I have to plug in a new, 'unknown' device"
- paulmd 10y agoIt would have to have its drivers signed by a known CA before it was capable of operating while the device was locked - that's all.
- mnx 10y agoI feel like it's too late for that - too many usb devices are already out there.
