I've been using a Das USB mechanical keyboard with Linux for years, on a variety of distros. Recently I rebuilt my desktop with a new motherboard (ASRock P67 Extreme6), installing Mint 21.1 using a wireless keyboard for convenience. When I returned the desktop to my office, the Das keyboard no longer worked in Linux, and only Linux.
It works in the BIOS, and in the Windows partition.
I've tried a variety of live distros: it doesn't work in any of them.
It's correctly detected in lsusb.
