Okay, that "what's a laptop?" comment was really really stupid. (Can you tell I don't like typing on laptops?)
The keyboard is an original Apple blue & white. It is, or at least was, plugged into the built-in USB ports. Per your comment, I just moved the blue keyboard's USB connection to a PCI card and restarted. No problems. Swapped it out for the ADB, restarted again, and again...no problems. Hope it's all behind me now.
