State of USB drivers

Hello :o)
I was wondering if anyone has used the USB drivers in the new kernel, and if
so, could tell me how well they work.
Currently, my machine has a USB mouse, and I would like to use it in Linux.
If you could give me some comments on the current stability of the drivers,
and any known issues, I may look at using the 2.3.x kernel as a test run :o)
Cheers.

I used the drivers when they were a kernel add-on to the 2.1.x and 2.2.x series and they
worked fine for most people for USB mice and keyboards. I don't know about the
stability of them at this stage though.

Scanners, if not part of the last group.
