grep through your /var/logs for USB-related messages.  Maybe something is
going on.  I have a PS/2 keyboard but my USB mouse is fine.  Once in a
while my USB hard disk will bork itself and, because of LVM, I'll have to
reboot to fix it.  Sometimes my SanDisk USB memory card reader will mess up
too.  I often wonder if it's something to do with the USB controllers on my
motherboard (which is pretty old).

If that doesn't turn anything up, I'd suggest trying a different USB
keyboard, and a PS/2 one if possible.

If that doesn't help, I'd suggest seeing a psychiatrist; perhaps your
original theory of your slowly going mad is correct.  ;)
