Since I am not yet into the internals of Qubes OS or much
customization, I use basically the default setting, where USB
keyboard, as far as I know, does not work without doing some extra
work. Since this problem is recurring, I will have to do that perhaps.

That was the advice given last time and it is correct, but hardware
costs money and this one was particularly costly with upgrades. I know
I should get rid of it, but there are practical constraints.

This I must do. Thanks for pointing this out.
