Personally, I'd prefer having separate capplets for keyboard and "other
input devices" or somesuch. There are lots of keyboard options (I'd
actually put keyboard layouts there as well), and as Bastien pointed
out, keyboards seem to be sufficiently different from other input
devices that this makes sense.
