Are these all USB devices?

what port?

>Not certain what you mean by "quality"; 
That it will bounce, not shatter when dropped.
That it will stand up to use for a substantial periofd of time (at least
a few years).

I think they do, but for some specialized industrial/commercial/military

Terrific, this is what I'm looking for, probably. 

At the moment, USB does not work on the machine that is of concern. I would 
like to know it you're talking about a USB KB/mouse, so I get that gpoing
