With the MX keys, some windows users had an issue with the NumPad Enter key acting as the Windows key when used, the Options software can be used to setup and reset the MX keys if you are experiencing issues. Hence, in Windows an app like HID MACRO can remap the keys for different uses etc.

The microprocessor in the keyboard basically translates the signal of the keypress to an output code for interpretation by the OS. Each key has a reference and the easiest way to explain it (although not strictly accurate, the principle works the same way). With regard to the two enter keys having different functionality, the physical keypress and label doesn't necessarily indicate the output to the operating system, the keys are essentially an interface. Although visual tracking does not work with the keyboard and so far isn't claimed as functional, the keyboard usage was the same as the Apple keyboards with none of the extended section appearing to function at all. Although I don't intend to use it in VR, after reading your post, I thought I may as well try and help out, so I tried my Logi Craft keyboard which is basically the same as the MX keyboard (with the exception of the smart dial). I have also noticed that the both keyboards actually display as the Magic Keyboard Version 2 layout (slightly different cursor arrangement to the version 1 keyboards I own) but it's close enough that for basic use, it makes very little The cutting off of the extended portion of the keyboard, I thought this may be the reason that the MX keys numeric keypad section doesn't work. With the differences in the bottom row of the keyboards having a slightly different layout (due to the cursors being separated on the extended version) it could lead to a little confusion if users aren't prepared for it.

However, the extended keyboard only actually shows the as the compact keyboard so none of the function keys show or work and none of the extended section of the keyboard show or work either.

Both keyboards showed an tracked image in Workrooms and both keyboards worked. I have tried both an Apple Wireless Magic Keyboard A1314 and an Apple Wired Extended Keyboard A1243 (both UK layout). I hope this might help answer a few questions for some users.
