Hi, this is a known issue with the current version of libinput-openbsd. When you have multiple keyboards of different types (pckbd aka PS/2 and USB for instance) attached. Each type has its own keycodes set, translated to evdev-like events in libinput. The current code can only handle one keyboard at a time and thus it's the last one attaching to the wskbd mux which "wins". Other keyboards are translated incorrectly. This is going to be fixed at some point. In the mean time, try to make sure you have only one keyboard attached to the mux. -- Matthieu Herrb
