Kira

Firmware Origin:

Default firmware

macOS

Version:

"bcdDevice" = 1222

Reproduction Steps:

Can't reproduce this issue because the Fn key does not exist in Kira

Resulting Issue:

Fn is tricky as it's actually covered in the "Vendor Specific" portion of the USB spec. Apple coded their OS such that only "Apple" keyboards can officially send the Fn key (at least the last time I checked a few years ago).
