Public bug reported:

After installing Ubuntu on a new Acer aspire u5 620 I found that the
wireless keyboard is not working properly (Keyboard: Acer KBRF96211).
The mouse works just fine and I can use the arrow keys in the grub menu
(so I am sure the usb plug is working). Moreover, I just realized, that
while pressing Fn the function keys are working but not the regular keys
(either with or without pressing the function key)?! I have tried it
with 14.10 15.04 and 15.10.

I disabled the touchscreen in the file 10-evdev.conf to make sure it
does not interfere with the wireless keyboard but nothing changed. When
I plug in a regular usb-keyboard it is recognized immediately and works
fine.

Did anyone experience this before?

Can you think of a workaround to "establish contact" to the other keys
on the keyboard? Or do you see a chance to obtain or adapt specific
drivers? I really like Ubuntu and want to keep using it, any help would
be appreciated
