Chris,

I want to say it's just directly handled by the normal input driver interface
for the kernel.

The only relevant things that I'll see crop up are these in dmesg:

[   44.100775] input: Apple Computer, Inc. Mighty Mouse as /class/input/input12
[   45.108663] input: Apple Inc. Keyboard as /class/input/input14

Obviously neither of those ends up loading usbhid, usbkbd, or usbmouse.

Lots of bluetooth modules begin to load too, but its hard to determine if they
were intended for usage by the devices or because of the usb bluetooth receiver.

Also, I do have an additional hald process running for this device, and a
bluetooth input service running

107      29123  0.0  0.0   2164   900 ?        S    06:44   0:00
hald-addon-keyboard: listening on /dev/input/event7
root      6021  0.0  0.0   2772  1080 ?        S    Dec11   0:00
/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd-service-input

So with all that being said, i'm pretty confused myself as to who is actually
responsible for the fact that the keyboard works as much as it does :)
