In your photos, you have a purple wire coming from GPIO 40/VBUS and going underneath the level shifter. Where does it solder to?

Its connected to PS/2 5V and HV of the level shifter so that the Pico and devices connected to the micro USB port gets powered via the PS/2 ports.

Please note that some older motherboards have non-resettable fuses rated under 300mA. Check the power consumtion of your keyboard/mouse/hub first before plugging in!
