Custom drivers for Corsair Keyboard, now keys are in Russian at boot.

As the title says, I installed the CKB drivers for my Corsair K65 keyboard but now when I boot then keyboard is set to a different language, possibly russian.

Once I'm in I can change it back to UK using `sudo setxkbmap gb` but it's not persistant.

If I try to use `loadkeys uk` I get the error "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console" and if I run as root it doesn't error but also doesn't change anything.

/etc/vconsole.conf shows "KEYMAP=uk" and nothing else.

BUT if I run `localectl status` I get the following output

  System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: uk
      X11 Layout: cz,us
       X11 Model: pc104
     X11 Variant: ,dvorak
     X11 Options: grp:alt_shift_toggle

This also seems to affect my i3 install. I can no longer use Alt+Shift+Q to close a window.
