Man, I just spent quite a bit of time diagnosing this particular issue.
The problem was that my Symbol Keyboard stopped working. This is a USB keyboard I made from an Arduino Leonardo. The touch screen was working okay, but the keypresses weren’t being delivered over USB.
Long story short, the 7-port USB 3.0 hub attached to my workstation needed rebooting! I disconnected the power supply and disconnected the upstream USB cable to remove both sources of power, then when I reconnected everything my stuff started working again, including my symbol keyboard.
