The mouse is going on working. It is a software problem. Plasma at all seems unstable, as from time to time it crashes, but is automatically restarting again.
But that is another story. However, is there a way, to restart the keyboard, without leaving plasma? When the keyboard crashes, I can still open a console, start an onscreen keyboard (ie. kvkbd) and could use the mouse for input.
