Intel iMac Keyboard Problems

It seems that about 1 time in 3, the intel iMac seems to have trouble waking up. The mouse works but the keyboard (into which the mouse is plugged) does not work. You see the password box on the screen but when you type nothing happens.

The quick and easy solution is to remember that this is *not* a Sun server - just unplug and replug the keyboard. Problem goes away.

I have also faced with same keyboard problem for all the 3 Intel iMacs 17". The keyboard hangs often even while typing. I have even reset the PRAM as per instruction from AppleCare Support, and software update to MacOSX 10.4.6. Any solution kindly post it here.
