On Dec 12th, I updated my laptop and after that, my OnlyKey (https://crp.to/) started giving me weird outputs. I thought that it might be a defective key, so I tested my spare and I was having the same issue. I even went and tested it out on different setups and the keys seemed to work fine on other computers. I've had a spare desktop lying around for a while and have been meaning to use it, so I took the opportunity to see if Kali might be the problem. Everything seemed to work on the live disk, but after an install and update I began having the same issue. So the problem seems to be with something installed in that updated. I've checked config files, scouring /etc and dpkg-reconfigure, but I haven't been able to find the problem.
This seems to only be happening within the X server environment; both XFCE and KDE are having the same problem. I've opened up a tty a couple times just to test it out, and it works just fine in there.
So below I've included some output...

If you have and idea what is going on, I would really appreciate the help. I use this key for work and it's getting frustrating. If we can pin this down, I'll be happy to file the bug report.
OnlyKey isn't working after a recent update
