FWIW, the old Gateway anykey keyboards could remap keys internally. They stayed mapped even if you plugged it into another system. I had to learn how to reset them to default.

If your normal key sequence to get into the BIOS boot menu doesn't even work, that sounds pretty conclusively like a hardware issue to me. Is it difficult to swap out the keyboard, in this laptop?

For sufficiently old fossils, it might be easier to boot from a live CD, if thumb drives aren't laying around already.

Distinguishing between a failed keyboard and a software misconfiguration can be helped by seeing the keyboard is not failed under different software. Knoppix distributions (at least in the past) had a reputation for being very good at autoconfiguring a wide variety of hardware. But if System 76 laptops are sufficiently specialized, it's possible no other OS will be happy with them.
