Similar USB issues have occured with me on Pure64. The problem was with 
the USB-PS/2 converter in my Belkin KVM. It connects with USB to the 
computers, and allows the use of a PS/2 or USB keyboard and mice. I had 
no problems with any Windows systems and the PS/2 converted but Pure64 
could only handle it once out of three times or so. Haven't tested with 
other Linux distros than Debian Pure64.

My solution, switch to a USB keyboard.
