Pardon my ignorance, I am planning to install Qubes on a laptop. 

I need to connect to 
(1) a USB scanner and 
(2) a USB smartcard reader (with OpenSC).

In the documentation it is written:

" Note, you cannot pass through devices from dom0 (in other words: a
USB VM is required). To use this feature, you need to have the qubes-
usb-proxy package installed in the template used for the USB qube "

Does it mean I will have to create a USB VM and then connect it to
other VMs using USB proxy. And I will loose USB keyboard and mouse in
dom0.

So is the only solution to buy a USB card and plug it in the laptop?

Kind regards,
