A similar problem is at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=203724, and a recommendation was to restart the relevant module: > rmmod atkbd ; modprobe atkbd reset=1 I'm not sure what module is driving your keyboard, but "lsmod" should list the loaded modules, and you can probably guess/tinker to find the module, like maybe "uinput" or "hid" or "hid_generic" or "usb_hid" or "usbcore" or .... However, I'd recommend you do the command in a single line, like above, rather than separate lines, in case you kill your mouse in the process and lose the ability to mouse-type. -- Kent
