When the machine is put to sleep, the USB keyboard seems to be disabled. It cannot be used to wake the computer (albeit, the mouse works) and I need to unplug it and plug it back in again to get it to respond to typing. Has any- one here seen/experienced this? It's very strange and even moreso, very an- noying.

I have had some of the same problems with a USB keyboard on my MacBook. However, when I wake it up using the mouse, the keyboard works okay. The only problem I have had is that apple and opt keys are reversed. Haven't decided yet if this is worth reinstalling to clean-up.

Do you have anything except the Apple-supplied keyboard and mouse plugged in ? Is the mouse plugged in via the keyboard or in another socket ?
