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.
