Hi,

Looks like your keyboard has bug when it crashes on control requests. You can 
try slowing down the set leds request. Edit "src/sys/dev/usb2/input/ukbd2.c", 
then lookup:

        [UKBD_CTRL_LED] = {
                .type = UE_CONTROL,
                .endpoint = 0x00,       /* Control pipe */
                .direction = UE_DIR_ANY,
                .mh.bufsize = sizeof(struct usb2_device_request) + 1,
                .mh.callback = &ukbd_set_leds_callback,
                .mh.timeout = 1000,     /* 1 second */
        },

Add:
                .interval = 10, /* 10 milliseconds */

Try different interval values in the range 10 to 500 ms.
