I vaguely recall similar problems other people have reported.  The
"fix" is to use a different brand/model keyboard.  I think it was
PlayStation 2 and/or Mac keyboards that had the problem.  If I recall,
the exact same keyboards had no problem running under Linux on other
hardware.  It's likely a PS3 specific problem that only Sony and the
keyboard manufacturers can fix.

Most USB keyboards seem to work fine.  I use a PFU Happy Hacking Lite 2
USB keyboard with integrated hub, and I plug my AOpen Optical OpenEye
WheelMouse into that hub.  I have had no problems.
