Lenovo T480 (only usb ports) with diagnosed broken keyboard (even Enter key not working).
I entered the Qubes Rescue by booting the installer thumb drive and managed to unlock the luks and get a chroot.
How can I make the USB keyboard work always? Can I bypass sys-usb? Or what should I turn off so that when I boot, I am able to type the luks password on the USB keyboard as well as the dom0 password on xfce? Thank you!
On luks passphrase prompt, it’s not sys-usb which manage the keyboard, sys-usb starts later.
I suggest you search the kernel options to control usb devices on boot and also the dom0 USBguard rules.

I have tried on Qubes Rescue chroot to change my dom0 user’s password to something that does not use broken keys (as I could click on the xfce button), but passwd gives me command not found.
I did it! The caveat is that Qubes Rescue does not chroot me in dom0, it just give me a generic Linux, then I had to decrypt the luks, mount, chroot and I was able to change the user’s password…
