MORE BONUS POINTS: I've noticed some Fn+ combinations work and are recognised as multimedia button presses.
The other USB keyboard works fine through this USB hub, but keypresses on the RUSH still do nothing BONUS POINTS: the RUSH keyboard has a built-in USB hub.

I don't want to upgrade with everything that entails, on the remote chance that it might magically help (there's no reason at all why it should)

I cannot and will not update to Monterey at this stage, because a) my employer doesn't fully support it yet, and b) this setup worked fine on BigSur until 2 days ago. I have tried various layouts and they make no difference I normally use UK PC layout (not UK Mac). the keyboard is still not recognised, even in Safe Mode. keyb as well as /Library/Preferences and rebooted I have culled basically any files that match ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple. It's a crappy dome keyboard and I would like to use my nice mechanical keyboard instead. another USB keyboard connected in any way (direct through the same USB A->C adapter or via dock+KVM) works fine. I have tried disconnecting everything else and connecting only the keyboard, and it still didn't work. I have tried direct connection (with a USB A to C adapter of course) to all 4 ports, as well as the connection I normally used which was never an issue before (through a USB dock and then the KVM which is effectively a USB hub). I have to enter a boot password as the disk is encrypted at this password prompt, the USB keyboard works fine. the keyboard works fine on other machines. if I click the "Change keyboard type" button, the standard dialog asks me to press the key to the right of the left Shift key (as I did when I first connected the keyboard years ago), but now when I press the key, nothing happens. It's definitely not a connection issue or a device issue, as it's clearly recognised as a keyboard the keyboard is recognised by MacOS and shown in the Keyboard control panel (clicking on "Modifier keys" shows a dropdown selection for connected keyboards, including mine). typing any key on the keyboard has no effect at all, including all letters, numbers, modifiers, arrows etc. I've been using my USB keyboard (Fnatic Gear RUSH Red Silent) for nearly three years without issue on both systems, but 2 days ago the Mac has completely stopped working with the keyboard and I can't understand why: #Mac not detecting usb keyboard pro#
I use a MacBook Pro 15" 2019 (running BigSur 11.6.5) supplied by my employer as well as a personal linux PC, switching between them with a KVM. So much for Apple products that "just work". I have no idea why, nothing has changed in the setup / connections / software or configuration. MARKED AS SOLVED BUT NOT REALLY - the keyboard started working again after a couple of weeks.
