That's why I stocked up on IBM Model M keyboards when I had the chance
(found them at a surplus sale for $2.00 ea and bought a dozen).
Any component that uses batteries, batteries are the first thing you
check. It's almost always going to be something wrong that costs a lot
more money to fix, but you might get lucky.

decent wired keyboard these days, but worth it.

Fer crying out loud... it was the batteries in the wireless keyboard.
After testing the power supply, swapping out or removing all cards,
and ultimately ordering a new computer (order soon to be cancelled)...
it turns out to be just two AA batteries.
I had turned the keyboard on and off and removed the KVM switch
earlier, but did not replace the batteries because the the low battery
indicator was not on. This afternoon it started it acting really bad
and I noticed it was acting like certain keys were stuck, so I pulled
the batteries and POW - everything works fine, no more beeping on
boot up or while in the bios setup screens. That new computer would
have been sweet but not needed now.
Jeesh!
