Maybe the SSD is drawing just enough additional current to mess with your keyboard. As already suggested, you could try removing it. Also, since you're not worried about security you could try typing your password in the username field, to make sure the keyboard works as expected. Just don't press enter so the password is not logged ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
