Certain problems with touchpad and keyboard

Hi.
Sometimes (maybe after waking up from sleep) click action of my touchpad doesn't work. Also, whenever I press caps lock or number lock buttons, all of keyboard would be locked. Restarting X11 (lightdm) can fix the former but in latter, I don't have access to any terminal so I must restart my laptop.
For convenience, I copied this arch from a computer to this laptop and tried to configure things. I use i3wm (X11/X.org) and ligthdm as my display manager.
For first attempt, I tried to read kernel and X11 logs but nothing suspicious was visible from my point of view. Also, for first issue, I tried to check touchpad clicks using xev and nothing reported there.
What logs or methods of debugging I should use for these problems to find the root cause and solve it?

After this has happened, reboot and then check your journal for the boot ID that failed: i.e. journalctl -b -1

Please don't paraphrase errors or output, but post the actual commands used and their output in [ code ] tags. Make sure to read the systemd/Journal Wiki.
