I had this problem, but only with one key (the spacebar) on one of
my external USB keyboards. I fixed it by switching to a different
keyboard. Your problem is different.
When your problem happens, I would try unplugging the keyboard, then
reconnecting it, perhaps into a different USB port. This trick
sometimes fixed my old usb wi-fi rum(4).
A USB hub might help. My old laptop's USB ports might be worn by the
years, so some devices might fail to connect. I got a hub to connect,
then put 5 devices on the hub. My wi-fi rum and keyboard are on this
hub. If the rum fails again, then I would test my keyboard; and if
the keyboard works, then I wouldn't blame my laptop's USB port.
I have not observed a bug with keyboards in OpenBSD;
my keyboards work well.

My old laptop has USB 2.0 ports (uhub0 at usb0 at ehci0).
I connected a USB 3.0 hub (uhub4 at uhub0).
