USB keyboards yelling into the void in the background hoping to be noticed.

    They ain't even, the host actually polls "interrupt" endpoints

    Couldn't quite remember how it worked, just that USB didn't CPU interrupt:-)

    Modern CPUs can manage what interrupts them. Almost nothing actually does.

    Computers have a CPU just to get in the way of things interrupting the main CPU.
