How are you coming up with that name? Why the @path?

Did you try
systemctl stop brltty.service
systemctl start brltty.service
Not saying that will fix the problem, but maybe it will give you some 
information.

You could capture a brltty debug log. You can use the -L (uppercase) option to 
specify the file to write the log to, and the -linpkts (this -l is lowercase) 
to tell it to log input packets from the device. Then press keys and see what 
shows up.
