It seems so, yes, although it's the old-school pro keyboard, not the newer aluminum one. And the mouse is not plugged into the keyboard, but a shared hub.
I've just swapped out CPUs, and I think the problem persists, but I'll need to work in the room a little more to be sure. Sounds like I might have to get a different extender.

No input is possible at that time. It's obviously super irritating while editing - or doing anything, really - you just have to wait for the system to come back.

It's such that I avoid using that editing system because of this irritating glitch - but I'd like to make that room viable again, if possible, without simply swapping out the entire mac (although that's definitely on the table.)
