Try "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration". Maybe you picked some options that you should not...

It seems unlikely that the USB keyboard driver has issues. In any case, you have not proven that we have a bug and that it's not a configuration issue. Maybe you should seek help on forums.kali.org first.

it's not a configuration issue... i tried it with every possible choice in "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" without success..
I tried it also with a live USB instance of kali 2016.2 and the same behavior..
currently I'm writing a RHEL iso to the pendrive just to test if it is a UNIX problem...
On Windows 7 the keyboard is working without any problems.. It's recognized as a IBM enhanced (101 - or102-key) keyboard and the standard keyboard.inf, hidserv.inf and input.inf are loaded in the properties, the only thing that catches my attention was that in the detailed view where input.inf was listed i saw a INF section pointing to HID_RAW_Inst.NT.. I'm stuck.. please point me in the right direction.. I've tried it on the Forum, but nobody answered and there is also one user who have had the same problem..

Sorry, this bug is not at all Kali specific. We won't have the time to investigate for you.
