Reports are surfacing that a number of Intel-processor Macs, mainly MacBooks and MacBook Pros, are experiencing inoperable keyboards when using the new version of Mac OS X, Leopard.

AppleInsider is reporting that users on their forums are complaining about the glitch, and that a lot of other user groups (even Apple’s own) are getting posts about the problem, which has surfaced after installing Leopard. The keyboard freeze seems to occur randomly with both older and newer laptops, and relaunching Finder or restarting the system sometimes fixes the problem but not always, while drastic solutions like PRAM resets don’t do anything for it.

External keyboards and onboard trackpads remain unaffected.
