Ok, so what I understand from your problem is that you are not able to use your keyboard while logging in as root in KDE. On the other hand the keyboard works fine in Gnome.
My guess is that you've corrupted some files in your KDE environment which make the keyboard useless. I dont think the problem go as far as the device level. Obviously the keyboard as such is fine since its working in other accounts.
This might not be the best way to solve it (and if somebody thinks so please let us know) but here goes.
Try creating a new dummy user from scratch. Log into that user in KDE. This will create a fresh set of files in that users home folder.
log in as root in the gnome environment and copy all those files to the root folder. Some will be overwritten. This might work.
Still.. do wait to see if anyone else replies, am not sure this is the best way to go.
