This wants two important clarifications:

  1. If your only/primary keyboard/mouse is on USB, of course don't disconnect it.
  2. The presence of USB keyboard affects only presented default configuration. Alternatively to disconnecting all of that, you can simply uncheck "allow usb keyboard" checkbox (if you don't want to use USB keyboard). This one: https://openqa.qubes-os.org/tests/126419#step/firstboot/9. Below the option you can see list of devices that will be affected.
