I am pretty sure I have seen it happen with both types.

The last time it happened was when adding a USB mouse to a system which 
already had a PS/2 mouse connected.

P.S. I have an "interesting" KVM set up here, to share a monitor.  Being 
an old KVM switch it only supports PS/2 keyboard and mouse.  It gets its 
power from the keyboard port on one PC, and won't work unless a real 
mouse and keyboard are connected, but partly functional old ones do :-)

I use more modern and nicer USB keyboards and mice on the 2 systems.
