A client uses a desktop Mac, OS X 10.15.1. They've started having an issue where the keyboard and mouse stop responding - even if you swap out the keyboard and mouse with other units. It's like the drivers or inputs within the PC stop working. The PC isn't frozen - it continues to operate as normal: notifications pop up, etc. Just the keyboard and mouse quit working.

Any ideas? If nothing else, I'll reimage the PC - but hate to do that if there's a better solution.

Rest assured that this is certainly not commonplace, and the drivers supplied by Apple with Mac OS X, have always worked flawlessly.

I highly doubt that there is any problem with the drivers per se, and that something else is causing the issue.

If you have an available Bluetooth keyboard & mouse to test & try, please pair those to the unit and wait for the issue to return, and test the bluetooth input devices to contrast & compare.

How old is the unit ? Nothing is shipping with 10.15 just yet so I imagine that was installed as an upgrade (Apple has been pushing it pretty hard, now via the Software Update mechanism), and as such the unit could be as old as 'mid 2012'
