I tried this but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the whole story.
If I press "decrease brightness" I get:
Event: time 1657525393.922727, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1657525397.043348, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN),
value 81
Event: time 1657525397.043348, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 190 (KEY_F20),
value 1

value 81
Event: time 1657525397.050384, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 190 (KEY_F20),
value 0

And if I press "increase brightness" I get:
Event: time 1657525397.050384, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1657525398.607184, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN),

Event: time 1657525398.614190, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 190 (KEY_F20),

There's no difference! And I also get the same thing if I press the
*actual* mute mic button =F0=9F=98=9E.

Any ideas?

Best,
Alex
