usbconfig dump_device_desc gives:

ugen1.4: <ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint Lite-On Technology Corp.>
at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=LOW (1.5Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)


  bLength = 0x0012

  bDescriptorType = 0x0001

  bcdUSB = 0x0110

  bDeviceClass = 0x0000

  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000

  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000

  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0008

  idVendor = 0x17ef

  idProduct = 0x6009

  bcdDevice = 0x0126

  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <Lite-On Technology Corp.>

  iProduct = 0x0002  <ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint>

  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

So maybe some quirks are needed for this to trigger the devd-rule.

Having ums in loader.conf and moused_nondefault_enable="NO" seems to work
just fine though. Thanks!
