Unless someone involved with uhid has an idea, I would probably
boot a different operating system and look whether it works there.
If so, perhaps your keyboard needs a quirk present elsewhere which
could be ported over?
Certainly, "usbhidctl -f uhid0 -a" should output something besides
the error (which occurs for my otherwise working USB keyboard as
well, so I think it's harmless).
