This does not affect keyboard interactions (but I have a PS/2 kbd, not a USB one). The problem can be "cured" by switching virtual terminals, or by killing and restarting X. Steps to reproduce: Start X, open a few windows, waggle the mouse with vigour, preferably while dragging a window around over other windows (though this is not necessary). Within a few seconds, the mouse should freeze. The problem can take hours to manifest itself if the mouse isn't being used much, but it always happens.
