Something like this sometimes happens to me moving in and out of my
windows VM.  I"m not sure exactly what causes it.  Sometimes I can
stop it if I go in and out the the vm holding, or not holding, the
control key.  It helps if I hold my mouth right, too.

I've occasionally gotten it to reset by switching to a viirtual
console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and then back (ALT-F7).  Sometimes when I get
back my keyboard is okay.  :)  Other times my machine hangs and I
reboot when I try that.  :(
