Well, the input device is recognized as a switch, so the prober is run
to check if it is a switch. It returns false, as it isn't a switch, and
the device is removed (due to the prober fail).

We know any input device is not a switch and so we don't have to run the
prober. If the prober isn't run, then it doesn't fail, and the device is
not removed.
