Nope, not ever. DOS has never had support for USB and never will - no
computers had USB ports back then! The first OS to properly support USB was
98 (95 Rev2 and later claimed to but it was flaky at best).

You're going to to stick with the keyboard. Though I don't see what this has
to do with XP - it doesn't have a DOS mode.
