Sounds like duff hardware to me.
One thing that may save you a fsck next time, Unplug both the mouse and the KB PS2 plugs. count to 3 and replug both. Keyboard should now be working but X may be upset about the mouse, if so use CTRL,ALT Backspace to restart X
Maybe also you should try moving the receiver dongle. Mine (a logitech) was very unhappy next to my laser printer, but when moved to the other side of the machine (which is actually further away from the KB and Mouse) it behaves a lot better.
