    Detection is different then telling you WHEN IT DISCONNECTS, which is probably more of what you would like. Provide a LOT more information, if you expect anyone to know what you want to do.

    This is not the correct way going about this. why lock the screen if there is no input device?

    Anyways, if it is a usb mouse and a usb keyboard, you might be able to use the RegisterDeviceNotification API to detect insertion or removal. I have done it with USB drives - and it should work similar.
