If plugging the original keyboard back in restores functionality, you've got two bad keyboards or bad ADB cables. I'm running OSX on my trusty old AppleDesign Keyboard and have never had a problem like yours. If plugging in the old keyboard doesn't work, then you've got a blown ADB chip on the logic board or the one ADB cable you're using is bad. > -- Wherever you go, there you are.
