--- Comment #9 from Diego Viola diego.viola@gmail.com 2011-09-29 01:41:23 CDT --- After doing some research and googling, I think I found the issue.
Apparently the kernel/udev sees my Microsoft keyboard as: /dev/input/js0 -- it sees the Microsoft keyboard as a joystick, and this is obviously wrong.
After deleting /dev/input/js0 everything is fine, the problem with arrow/controls disappear.
I found the answer to this problem in this ML thread:

The model of my Microsoft keyboard is:
Microsoft Wireless MultiMedia 1.1 Model: 1014
dmesg shows this:
[ 1483.596560] usb 5-2: USB disconnect, device number 11 [ 1485.073202] usb 5-2: new low speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd [ 1485.265926] input: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\xffffffc2\xffffffae\xffffffae 2.10 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.0/input/input19 [ 1485.265991] microsoft 0003:045E:009D.0010: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\xffffffc2\xffffffae\xffffffae 2.10] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-2/input0 [ 1485.355823] input: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\xffffffc2\xffffffae\xffffffae 2.10 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.1/input/input20 [ 1485.355961] microsoft 0003:045E:009D.0011: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop\xffffffc2\xffffffae\xffffffae 2.10] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-2/input1
I don't understand why the kernel or udev is seeing this keyboard as a joystick... weird. Any ideas?
