InputClass sections can apply to more than one device and the actual device
path doesn't matter. In your case, you restrict matching to a single device
and lose the benefit of input classes. The device path isn't guaranteed to
stay fixed either, so you may after a reboot loose your keyboard if the
number changes.
MatchIsKeyboard already matches on keyboards only, just modify both
MatchDevicePath to use /dev/input/event* (not a specific number) and you're
probably fine.
