>Synopsis: Prtsc button doesn't work on USB keyboard

System : OpenBSD 7.6

>Description:
I've noticed that Prtsc doesn't work when I plug a USB keyboard into my
laptop. The same key on the embedded keyboard works fine.
On console both keyboards work but send different code: 70 from USB and
183 from embedded.
I've asked on misc@ and had multiple confirmations that this is not
unique behavior https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=172869341512696&w=2
Thus, here is the old topic with the same issue:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=170757405114868&w=2
>How-To-Repeat:
1. probably attach any USB keyboard to a laptop
2. run xev
3. push Prtsc button
4. see no event
>Fix:
This patch fixed Prtsc on my keyboard:
