Normal keyboard recognized as apple aluminium keyboard

Hello, today i was trying to use my 65% keyboard on arch, when suddenly i tried to use Fn keys. To my surprise they did not work.
And after using lsusb i noticed that my wifi dongle is indeed seen as an apple keyboard.

When i ran lsusb i had my keyboard connected with the cable (NEO65)

[alex@pc ~]$ lsusb

What is the best way to change this behavior?
Thanks

No sadly is not working, the only fn mappings i set up in VIA:
- Fn+Numbers = Fn keys
- Fn+Esc= `
- Fn+Tab=switch from bluetooth, wireless, wired

And then when wired it works normally, its just when connected over wireless

Fixed it with a solution on arch forum
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Apple_Keyboard

I have no idea on how to mark the post as solved!
