While Microsoft Windows XP is known to crash early on during
installation if USB keyboard and mouse are detected, Windows 7 and
beyond support them out of the box.
Moreover, it has been reported[1] that PS/2 virtual devices are much
slower than USB ones in Windows 8.1.
Lets add these devices to list of supported devices to Windows 7 (and
therefore all inheriting OSes, e.g Windows 8.1) so that virtual machine
manager apps (e.g Boxes) have an easy way to decide whether to use USB
or PS/2 devices for a particular Windows OS.
