It is possible you may be able to recover explorer.exe either by
running:

sfc /scannow

or by extracting it from cabinet files. This is a little tricky as it
depends on OS version, the location of your cabinet files, and an
exact command line.
This may even fix you keyboard problem.

I forgot to notice, but what happens in Safe Mode?
From the sounds of things, explorer.exe is starting, but is
immediately terminated.
