USB Keyboard Security

In general, it is not safe to allow a usb keyboard, since bad usb representing an hid device can „type“ very fast.
Would Qubes benefit from an attempt to mitigate those attacks? One idea is to write a python script that would detect to fast typing and block that device. Would developers be interested in this kind of thing? It can be installed by salt with the sys-usb-keyboard in dom0. Or if we don’t use PS2 that is it…by the way if somebody combines pi zero and bad usb and send keystrokes through PS2 (of course physical access is necessary in this case) we get the same attack surface as with usb keyboard…
