Also affected. Updated 7 hrs ago - not at the box now but checking the apt history the packages listed by corradoventu were not identical.
Mouse freezes. Keyboard more or less unusable. Resorted to onscreen keyboard.
Also sure that it is not kernel related. Daily updates have me with 5.8.0-26 and 5.8.0-25. Booting into both with the same behaviour. Recovery mode on both kernels also has the keyboard unresponsive so I don’t think the bug is WM/DE related. Haven’t tried booting to console yet. But considering the recovery experience probably not going to make a difference.
libinput, libusb, or related seem most likely culprits.
FWIW this is a desktop put together last year, Groovy and eOS are both fine, as was Hirsute before the reboot after update
Edit
These are the packages updated after which the issue above started

overlap with corradoventu seems to be
Code:
libdjvulibre-text libdjvulibre21
but that doesn't make any sense
I also updated yesterday and don't recall rebooting

So now I think it's the linux-firmware package with apport-related packages second in the likely suspects line-up
