I recently filed a bug report 
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=445768 in which the 
mouse pointer stops working after a few seconds at certain web sites 
(for machines with a certain Intel video chipset).

Your problem instead involves the keyboard, and you don't say that only 
certain web sites trigger the problem.

Nonetheless I wonder if you may be dealing with a related phenomenon.

What video chipsets are involved?

In any case, an easy test: disable Hardware Acceleration in Chrome 
Advanced Settings.  My research on the above problem showed that it can 
be responsible for a number of issues.
