Looks like, this key is supported by systemd, but for another model: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/hwdb/60-keyboard.hwdb#L321

So, new DMI match string should be added

Could you open an issue upstream against systemd/systemd on github requesting such a change?

[Dmitriy Geels (dmig)]

Until systemd gets updated, following file can be used. Put it to /etc/udev/hwdb.d
