4.Write to the ACKE bit in the keyboard status and control register to clear any false interrupts.

5.Clear the IMASKE bit.

An interrupt signal on an edge-triggered pin can be acknowledged immediately after enabling the pin. An interrupt signal on an edge- and level-triggered interrupt pin must be acknowledged after a delay that depends on the external load.
