[HHKB Hybrid Type S] Running into issues trying to get this keyboard working on OSX and Linux.

HHKB Hybrid Type S
Post Body
tldr: I bought this keyboard a week ago that was announced in Japan a month ago0, and am having troubles getting the keyboard working; it partially works under one setup. It has a different part number (PA50952-1232) then the version listed on Fujitsu's site (CG01000-297201). Hopefully people have some suggestions of what to try.
I am only using the Hybrid Type S over USB-C to eliminate any potential Bluetooth issues.
I have two Macbook Pros and a Linux machine:
- 2014 MBP running Catalina (10.15.2)
- 2019 MBP running Mojave (10.14.6)
- Intel NUC running Ubuntu 16.04
and a few HHKBs:
- 2x HHKB Pro 2
- HHKB Hybrid Type-S
