This is design decision. Having control over the keyboard gives in practice control over the whole system, so it should be really consistent decision to allow sys-usb to control keyboard. Just one-click confirmation is too little barrier. More details: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/#tocAnchor-1-1-4

Qubes OS version (e.g.,
R3.1):R3.2
Affected TemplateVMs (e.g.,
fedora-23, if applicable):N/A
Expected behavior:
When connecting a USB keyboard for the first time it should ask if you want to allow the keyboard to passthrough to the rest of the system.
Actual behavior:
Nothing happens.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
General notes:
The solution to the problem is to add
sys-usb dom0 askon the top of the file/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.InputKeyboard. Passthrough for USB mouses is already enabled using this method.
