We've found certain USB extensions to be problematic with the Apple Logic Keyboards (Aluminum). When your mouse stops working, does the keyboard stop functioning as well?

I secretly believe this IS hardware issue, and this particular CPU is in the racked up, remoted to the bay, etc.
Since we're pretty quiet, I think I'm going to take a shotgun cheat and swap the entire CPU for another system that DOESN'T exhibit this behavior - one from a more open workstation - and see if the problem follows the room or the CPU. If, as I suspect, the problem follows the CPU, then I'll have that CPU in a location that's much more conducive to longer-form (proper) trouble shooting.
If it follows the room, well there's not too many steps to getting that sorted, either.
Thanks!

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.)
