I've installed qubes on a dell desktop that has no PS2 support, and only one USB controller.  So it uses a USB keyboard & mouse.  During installation I saw no prompt for creating a sys-usb, which I understand is the default when you boot with a USB keyboard.

Here is the output of qvm-pci

dom0:00_00.0  Host bridge: Intel Corporation 
dom0:00_02.0  VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 
dom0:00_08.0  System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 / E3-1500 v5 / 6th/7th Gen Core Processor Gaussian Mixture Model  
dom0:00_12.0  Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation 
dom0:00_14.0  USB controller: Intel Corporation   
dom0:00_14.2  RAM memory: Intel Corporation  
dom0:00_14.3  Network controller: Intel Corporation     sys-net (no-strict-reset=True)
dom0:00_15.0  Unknown: Intel Corporation   
dom0:00_16.0  Communication controller: Intel Corporation  
dom0:00_16.3  Serial controller: Intel Corporation 
dom0:00_17.0  SATA controller: Intel Corporation   
dom0:00_1d.0  PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 
dom0:00_1f.0  ISA bridge: Intel Corporation  
dom0:00_1f.3  Audio device: Intel Corporation   
dom0:00_1f.4  SMBus: Intel Corporation 
dom0:00_1f.5  Unknown: Intel Corporation 
dom0:00_1f.6  Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (7) I219-LM        sys-net (no-strict-reset=True)

I've ready through the USB related documentation, but I'd like to understand my usb options better.  

I believe if I try to create a sys-usb for this PC I'll loose my connection to keyboard and mouse in dom0 in that case.  Is that correct?

If so, is my only option then to either:

use USB insecurely
don't use USB at all except for the keyboard & mouse attached to dom0

Thanks,

Peter

Or you can install another USB card and dedicate it to sys-usb.

Thanks.  unfortunately this PC is a ultra mini and has no PCI slot.
