Keyboard computers (400, 500, 500+) • Keyboard of Raspberry Pi 500 (and probably 500+) can be made useless when logging in using SSH and trying to run game

I have this issue with the game flappy birds in Raspberry Pi 500 and wonder if this issue also exists in Raspberry Pi 500+:
https://github.com/mobluse/rpi-keyboard-config/issues/1When the game is waiting for Esc+Enter on the Raspberry Pi 500 to unlock the keyboard nothing happens when you type on the keyboard and not even the off/on button works. One way to fix this is to press Esc+Enter on Raspberry Pi 500. Pressing Esc+Enter does not work if the SSH session is terminated, then rebooting or shutting down or restarting doesn't help. The only solution then AFAIK is to shutdown and pull the plug and insert it again.
