Is that an USB keyboard?

In case it is an USB keyboard:  What country code is
returned by the USB keyboard?  The country code
can be found in the USB HID descriptor, field
bCountryCode, any you can print it like this:

    # echo ::prtusb | mdb -k

    INDEX DRIVER INST NODE VID.PID PRODUCT
    ....
    10 hid 1 keyboard 046a.0001 No Product String
    ....

In the above example, the usb keyboard device uses usb 
device "INDEX" 10.

Now (replace 10 with the index of the keyboard device from
the above usb device list);

    # echo ::prtusb -v -i 10 | mdb -k
