I have the same issue. My keyboard freeze very frequently. However, my
mouse keeps working.

HDD, I sent it
As CGeng (mrmorning)said

Occasional Keyboard freeze
To manage
I'm getting something very similar. When editing text - mainly (perhaps always)
when selecting text the keyboard freezes for a short time. Resizing/moving the
window seems to recover this, but it recovers by itself after about 10 seconds.
This is with Libre Office text, geany and kate editors.
The same problem: my keyboard is getting freeze (especially after
entering text in text boxes: Chrome, Kate) for few minutes after which
it is again working fine.
