Was it a keyboard hardware issue? I'm having the same problem with my ZG5: some keys aren't working on Debian 10.
Thanks for any info.

Hey @syats,

It was totally a hardware issue. The keyboard needed replaced, there was no repairing it.

I was amazed that a replacement part could even be found, but the hardware guy I went to is an absolute wizard, and I live in a part of the world where things don't get thrown out too quickly, so that was working in my favor too.

Good luck to you!

FWIW, I have a spare ZG5 keyboard.
