Q: Keyboard stopped working

I was using Safari and my keyboard just stopped. Only my trackpad worked. I had to go to the main desktop and hit the Spotlight shortcut multiple times to wake it up (I realised then it was system-wide it wasn't working). This happened in the space of 30 or so seconds. I've also had the mouse disappear in Safari when I was in the tab view. I fixed it the exact same way (except I didn't have to bring up spotlight, the mouse reappeared by itself).

 

I only started using Safari full time this week. Never had these issues with Chrome.

OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
