Remove that. You've just disabled input hotplugging.

Install xf86-input-evdev. That's the 'new' input driver everyone should
be using, it handles pretty much everything: keyboards, mice, trackpads,
etc.

Once that works, you may want to install a specific driver like
-synaptic (most touchpads) or -wacom (tablets), if you have such hardware.

The -kbd and -mouse drivers are still maintained but not recommended, as
they completely bypass the kernel's input stack.
