This bug is highly hardware specific and specific to local
configuration, so it does only affect very few people. It also does
not render udev completely useless, it just affects a few keys.

Right, "keyboard:" got changed to "evdev:" in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/51c0c2869

> As I saw lines starting with evdev:input:b0003 in this file for
> USB devices, I tried:
> 
> evdev:input:b0003v05ACp0221*
>  KEYBOARD_KEY_70035=102nd       # Left to z: backslash bar
>  KEYBOARD_KEY_70064=grave       # Left to 1: grave notsign
>  KEYBOARD_KEY_70068=insert      # F13: Insert

Matching on the hardcoded bus ID 0003 seems unnecessary and it might
even be wrong. Please check lsusb/lspci if that keyboard is really on
the bus 3; But as this doesn't seem important, just try

   evdev:input:b*v05ACp0221*

instead? If that still does not work, can you please check "cat
/sys/class/input/event1/device/modalias" for the actual modalias of
that device? (Replace event1 with the actual keyboard) That's the one
that the rule above needs to match.

Thanks,

Martin
