Hi all,
I just received my brand new 8BitDo Retro Keyboard and connected it to my machine running FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p5. The problem is that L-SHIFT, R-SHIFT, L-CTRL, R-CTRL, L-WIN, R-WIN, R-ALT, L-ALT, and the two special A and B key on the keyboard and the external A and B buttons does not work even though system recognizes the keyboard. I tried all keys with Xev and it show nothing on these keys. I used both cable and 2,4ghz usb dongle with same results. I tried different keyboard layouts but no help. Adding a picture of the keyboard and output from some logs:
dmesg:

I would appreciate some help. What could be the cause that some keys are not working? Can I test anything more?
edit: I tried the keyboard on my sons computer that runs Fedora 39 and all keys are working so the keyboard is not faulty.
