Something is wrong with your system. Here's the line in dmesg.boot on my
workstation:
ukbd0: <vendor 0x045e Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite, class 0/0, rev
2.00/2.07, addr 3> on uhub3
kbd2 at ukbd0
I believe this is the same keyboard you are using:
# grep "Keyboard Elite" /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/*
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs:product MICROSOFT NATURALKBD 0x000b Natural
Keyboard Elite
# devinfo -v | grep 0x045e
ukbd0 pnpinfo vendor=0x045e product=0x000b devclass=0x00
devsubclass=0x00 release=0x0207 sernum="" intclass=0x03 intsubclass=0x01 at
port=0 interface=0
