Hi, I have head the same issue twice in one month, so I might be missing something. Today, I ran an update as usual using
sudo pacman -Syu The last thing on my terminal was
Running post-transaction hooks
(1/10) Reloading system manager configuration...That's when the caps-lock button started blanking. After turning my laptop off then on, I couldn't get to SDDM, so I logged into tty and reinstalled all packages (following the wiki), which fixed the issue for me.
Now, I am trying to understand what happened to avoid this issue in the future. I looked at the pacman.log file and journalctl around that time.

Thanks for sharing, similar to some of the people in the gitlab issue, I have an Nvidia GPU with prop. driver (added it to my post).
