@nhartman
Update Syslinux/Isolinux to 3.70 or wait until Victor releases UBCD50b3 or a higher version which has the newest isolinux/syslinux.
Quote from the syslinux changelog:
Change to the A20 algorithm which *MIGHT* help systems that have systems which freeze when Syslinux is used with USB keyboards. Note that this has been hard do verify, so I would greatly appreciate feedback on it.
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Changelog

If you want to update it by yourself:
Download syslinux from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/.
Extract the syslinux archive to "c:\syslinux\".

To update isolinux for the CD version
- Copy "c:\syslinux\isolinux.bin" to "c:\ubcd\isolinux\".
- Copy "c:\syslinux\com32\menu\menu.c32" to "c:\ubcd\isolinux\"
- Copy "c:\syslinux\com32\modules\chain.c32" to "c:\ubcd\isolinux\" (not necessary)
- Copy "c:\syslinux\memdisk\memdisk" to "c:\ubcd\isolinux\" (not necessary)

To update syslinux for the bootable USB key
- Copy "c:\syslinux\ldlinux.sys" to "c:\ubcd\syslinux\".
- Copy "c:\syslinux\mbr\mbr.bin" and "c:\syslinux\ldloader.bss" to "c:\ubcd\tools\ubcd2usb\".
- Copy "c:\syslinux\com32\menu\menu.c32" to "c:\ubcd\syslinux\"
- Copy "c:\syslinux\com32\modules\chain.c32" to "c:\ubcd\syslinux\" (not necessary)
- Copy "c:\syslinux\memdisk\memdisk" to "c:\ubcd\syslinux\" (not necessary)

Remaster the iso
