Keyboard locked after fast travel
Anyone else encountered this?
After a fast travel, NONE of the keyboard keys work. Cannot move, open console, escape, etc. Only the mouse can make things happen, such as attacking and zooming in/out.

Did you somehow turn on the xbox controller feture in settings?

What does that mean? It should be in settings and just turn it on.

Cuz if you use an xbox controller there is a button that has to be checked. Doing this disables the use of about 99 percent of the kepboard.
Everything works as expected... until I fast travel. Then BAM... no KB in game (though I can still CTRL+ALT+DEL to force quit). I do have an XBox controller connected, but it has been connected for months and I do not have it enabled, or the KB and mouse wouldn't work at all (at least, that was what I recall happeneing... it was either or instead of both control options at the same time). This issue is recent and has happened with two different new characters.
Could be a mod added. Could be a patch (was there one recently?) Could be I've spent too much time in Skyrim (... Naaaahhh).

Had the same issue since updating SkyUI. So i deactivate SkyUI and no more Keyboard locking now !

happened to me but this was a fast travel to a mod house only +warzones was activated and had a large war in the area.
Hmm. I did update SkyUI, too. So that may be the issue. Hopefully, there will be an update soon. I have come to prefer the SkyUI vs. vanilla Skyrim UI.
Thanks for the tip, Maksymuss.
Well, Disabling Sky UI resulted in CTD, likely due to mod dependancies elsewhere. I tried an alternate lauch method, Steam synced some files and I lost a few saves, but Fast Travel works again without locking the KB... at least for now. Hope this doesn't reappear.

I have this same issue. For me the problem seems to be Midas Magic, when i have one of the custom spells equipped when i fast travel, i can't move afterwards. All i have to do is have vanilla spells equipped and it works fine so far.

For me everything was working great but when I went to Windhelm and started the quest where you have to catch the Windhelm butcher my controls lock up when I enter Hijerim to confront the murderer. The strange thing is that the NPCs seem to stand there also and don't attack.... Such an annoying bug... I can't seem to get it to stop and since it's just now happening for the first time I have no idea if it's a mod causing this or not. It's so random.

Just happened to me, no xbox controller connected, but I do have SkyUI.

This happened to me but I opened up the console and did a "showracemenu". I didn't change anything and saved my character and the keyboard started working again. I assume something got reset??
Sounds like you were better off than me. I couldn't access console in order to attempt something like this. Nothing short of CTRL+ALT+DEL worked.

I have the issue as well... only mod ive seen that I have any connection to is SkyUI so I would guess it is at fault.
