Ok, I'll try the users list.

The keyboard works and I can hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 and then login and run
commands on the console. I also tried creating a new account and it
has the same issue. I also tried pressing the Windows Key and the
Activities Overview doesn't pop up like it's supposed to and the only
thing that I can get to do anything is right clicking on the desktop
and then about a minute later the setting context menu will pop up.
