A4 tech wireless keyboard not working
up vote

I recently bought an A4 Tech set of wireless mouse and keyboard. The problem is, that Ubuntu (16.04 LTS) doesn't seem to recognize the keyboard. The mouse is working fine, and the keyboard is working on windows. I have already tried reinstalling xserver drivers, installed newest version of bluez. I even tried to plug in all 3 USB slots the wireless adapter, but didn't help. After a thorough search on the net, I didn't find any actually working solutions.
If it is any help, when typing grep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices in the terminal, in the output I can see two elements that likely correspond to the wireless devices (i.e. when I plug out the USB adapter for the devices, those disappear):
N: Name="COMPANY 2.4G Device"
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event5 leds
N: Name="COMPANY 2.4G Device"
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd mouse1 event6
Any idea how could I resolve this? Is there a way to switch the keyboard on, or to get a working driver? Could Ubuntu 18.04 LTS handle the keyboard? Any help would be appreciated!

dear @waltinator I checked it, it appears that ubuntu sees initially the keyboard element, but isn't able to handle it: drive.google.com/open?id=1A8i3PZ7G4_xjrobY7s5IuECm3cMyxD-s Any idea how to fix this?
