Hey Guys.. 
I didn't read all the comments.. But I had a similar issue with a windows keyboard I connected to my macbook 3,1 SantaRosa
Both internal macbook keyboard and windows keyboard worked fine, when connected.. and when I remove the windows keyboard, macbook internal keyboard stops working..
and sometimes when I press alphabets on the macbook keyboard, numbers appear instead of alphabets.
In the login windows it worked fine.. After login the problem occurs..

This is how I fix it, when I get that problem..

I delete the directory ~/.gconf/system/peripherals
logout and login

Bug description:
I have the new Slim USB Apple Keyboard and in Hardy Heron (Beta) when I first boot up the alphabet keys work perfectly, but once I type in the numpad or a number, nothing happens.  After nothing happens I'm not able to use my alpha keys, either..  When I type alphabet keys after trying a number the alphabet keys produce numbers like '4' and '3'..  And many of the keys don't do anything..


I have tried setting the keyboard up as default, and as an Apple keyboard by going to System > Prefs > Keyboard -- but nothing works.

If i then unplug the keyboard to reboot the keys usually work fine until I hit a number key or the keypad again.
