Hey, that's a novel way of running a computer: you disconnect a device 
and the cpu starts to work; reconnect the device and the cpu stops 
working. I wonder if all computers are meant to work this way? :-)

Probably what is happening is that some apps need to have access the 
keyboard and when they cannot then they go into panic mode and start 
furiously looking for it - which is why the cpu goes to 100%. It would 
therefore be worthwhile to find out which app or apps are causing this 
peaking of cpu because there may be a way (a config file perhaps) which 
may stop this.
