You can have a keyboard-only /etc/xorg.conf:

--8<--
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "Protocol" "wskbd"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/wskbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "type6_usb"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option      "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
-->8--
