Hello Vanamakda,
It is certainly difficult to use the computer if your wireless keyboard is not responding. I found a few resources I recommend for this issue.
First, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Wireless Connection issue" in the following article:

If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the article below. Step 9 specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
9. Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
