Re: Weird Keyboard Issue with anko keyboard.

[Jussi Lahtinen <jussi.lahtinen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Very interesting problem. I'm currently sick so I won't be much help right
now.
But I have noticed that new hardware seems to intentionally (AFAIK) break
things on Linux. I bought Rapoo M50 mouse, very regular mouse (google it),
but to get it to work, you need 6.8 kernel to fix all the non-standard
shenanigans they made. So, I guess your keyboard has something similar...
something stupud like it detects "gaming mode" and disables some keys. I
don't think it is mapping issue, when it works everywhere else, unless it
changes the mapping on the fly.
