That's even weirder. What's the make and model of laptop?

Keyboards are normally probed and enabled at the BIOS level, aren't 
they? Like before anything to do with operating systems even starts?

I have a USB keyboard and a Bluetooth keyboard sitting in a drawer for 
the rare occasions when some other piece of keyboard kit suddenly packs 
up, because at worst one of them will probably enable me to type sudo 
reboot.

I don't know, but all the USB keyboards I have come across have been 
instantly recognised and enabled.
