Sometimes I wake up my Mac and it does wake up, and the mouse pointer
moves but clicking doesn't work and neither does the keyboard. Whatever
mouse pointer is associated with the application that's in focus (eg a
photoshop elements magnifier) stays wherever I drag the pointer.

I can only find references to Bluetooth unresponsiveness. The mouse is
magic but the keyboard is cabled... and I've seen this on another Mac
with all wire peripherals.

Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

Very, very occasionally I've had my keyboard (wide Apple alu, wired) stop
working. Never been able to pin down what causes it. Unplugging it and
plugging it back in doesn't cure it, but a reboot does.

It's happened two, maybe three times. Not enough to establish a pattern.

So far no problems with the mouse (Magic).

10.6.3

In my case a hard reset is the only way to get the thing up and running
again, which I HATE having to do.

Any time I've had iffiness like that, it's ended up going away after
maintenance jobs and updates - cache flushing, resetting PRAM/power
manager/similar, checking permissions (had a whole load that needed
doing after one recent Apple update - yeah, Apple), etc. I've never
been able to pin down any particular thing that did the job.

Onyx: useful maintenance tool.

I've taken to doing a double reboot before logging on after all heavy
Mac maintenance. I've suffered a lower rate of minor iffiness since.
