Ok, I figured out that those problems only occurred after I pressed the touchpad on/off button.
If I press this button, the keyboard becomes unresponsive and for some reason I can't do anything except left-click on tasks in the taskbar using the mouse (the applications menu doesn't open even whether I click on it or press alt+f3).

The thing in #42 works, but if I press the touchpad on/off button then everything stops working, so I can't turn off the touchpad when I don't want to use it.
