Problem with keyboard keychron q2

[P3p0x]

Well, when I boot the system, in the boot main screen I can use the keyboard but when the system boots up, I cannot use it anymore. I try with another keyboard, and works well, the system recognize my keychron q2 but I don't know why I cannot use it. What can I do?

Do you have in rc.conf :
keymap= ...
Try changing it.

Have you reported the issue on Bugzilla?

Try fiddling with the BIOS settings, specifically USB 'legacy' support and/or "port 60/64 emulation". This setting 'translates' a USB keyboard to a PS/2 keyboard. This is intended for operating systems that don't natively support USB keyboards. Some combinations of keyboards and mainboards just don't seem to like this switcheroo. I've had keyboards that wouldn't work on one system, regardless of the 'legacy' setting but did work on a different system.

I just started to use my Keychron K2 V2 on FreeBSD 13.1 RELEASE and all works fine.

/etc/rc.conf

keymap=¨us.acc¨

Further look at the hardware switches keyboard itself. Mine is wired and set for Windows.

Your keyboard also can have a 'sleep modus' that shuts off the hardware when not in use for 10 minutes. This is also something to look at.

To solve this problem in FreeBSD 13.4 it was necessary to enter in /boot/loader.conf:

hw.usb.usbhid.enable="1"

The method described here did not help in my case. If you do this:

uhidd -D /dev/ugen0.3
usbconfig -d 0.3 add_quirk UQ_KBD_BOOTPROTO

then pull out and reinsert the USB, the keyboard will work, but then it may not work after rebooting.
