On a quick test here, I can confirm this behavior, but it's not specific to my
Shinobi - any USB keyboard I have on hand (the Shinobi, an IBM SK8845, and a
Unicomp Endurapro) doesn't seem to pass that event on OpenBSD, where the
built-in pckbc(4)/pckbd(4) keyboard on the test machine (Thinkpad T420) does
so just fine. (You might note however that all three of those USB keyboards
have integrated mice - perversely I do not have a no-mouse USB keyboard laying
around to see if that's related.)
