As far as I can tell, my keyboard is on /dev/input/event0. There is
also /dev/input/event12 which looks like a keyboard but does not
produce any events. It is probably some kind if "ghost" of event0
(physically, I have a just a single keyboard). In evtest I see normal
events on event0:

The output of xinput test-xi2 is attached (it is quite long). I did
the following: started it so that the displayed small window got the
focus and then pressed PageDn twice and PageUp twice and then
repeated. The log was truncated at the end of this sequence.

Hope that helps.
