Probably. Have you tried different USB ports and a different keyboard just to make sure?

why don't you get a PS2 adaptor or whatever they're called and plug your keyboard into the traditional keyboard/printer type input. that way you can probably deduce whether its your motherboard overall or just the USB controller.

Use one of those USB-to-PS/2 adapters and plug your keyboard in that way.Jay wrote:
USB controller crapped out, keyboard failure etc. Motherboard toast?
You could then get a cheap PCI USB controller card.
All this assuming that nothing more on the motherboard is fried.
I had single, damaged USB connectors several times, without affecting anything else.
(I think that cheap, powered USB hubs plugged in and running continuously were the culprits.)
