I just received a Pinebook Pro from the latest 2021 batch of the machines, and I have an identical problem to kendrew's keyboard problem.
I can add that occasionally the keyboards (keyboards plural --- USB external keyboards behave with exactly the same symptoms as the laptop keyboard) _do_ function properly. On some reboots the keyboards work normally, and sometimes I can get the keyboard to work normally hammering the caps lock and enter keys for a while. But it does not take long for them to revert to kendrew's behavior.
Via ssh (no problems over ssh of course) I managed to flash the firmware, according to this github repo: https://github.com/jackhumbert/pinebook-...rd-updater
But it did not fix the problem.
It _feels_ like software/firmware thing to me. But if you know what you're talking about and told me it was hardware, I would believe you.
Any ideas?
