Thread 55717 describes my problem perfectly, and I went through the steps to fix it, but still couldn't get it to work.
The issue is that either keypresses don't register or they register incorrectly (w becomes a, etc). To add to what's in the thread above, this appears to be related somewhat to how quickly I type; individual, slow presses act as the thread describes, but chording or faster key pressing generates different output. Just like the previous poster, this keyboard works fine in the BIOS/EFI as well as the FreeBSD boot loader on the same machine.
I attempted to fix the issue following those instructions. First by identifying the keyboard:
Then running
Unplugged the keyboard and plugged it back in, and it still wasn't operating correctly. Just in case, I also modified /boot/loader.conf by adding these two lines:
N.B.: I don't think the usb_quirk_load line does anything, but it was in usb_quirk(4), so it went in the config as well.
Rebooted with the keyboard in, unplugged it and replugged it, rebooted with the keyboard out, and plugged it in post-boot. No matter what, it's the same behavior. The only thing I haven't done is recompile the kernel with this device in there, but I'm hoping to avoid that, since I like running GENERIC.
And here's the device description:
Yes the ugen device changed. I unplugged a bunch of stuff to see if they were impacting things somehow.
