I have 2 macs and 2 Slim USB Keyboards.  We will call them set 1 and set
2, to avoid confusion.  I had an issue with the 6 on the number pad on
set 1, so i switched out the keyboard with the one from set 2. (which
worked fine- all keys)  The 6 on the number pad on the keyboard from set
2 didn't work on the mac from set 1, and the 6 on the number pad from
set 1 (which originally didn't work) worked fine hooked to the set 2
mac.  I have obviously determined that it is an issue with the mac, but
I do not know how to find the problem, let alone fix it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

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.
