How to reproduce

I have a custom xkb map set for my keyboard which works fine with Hyprland 0.34 (03ebbe18ed8517ee22591eac82cd54322f42cb7d)

With 0.35 it seems to be ignored, even though the log report that the layout has been set to what I was expecting (de_hhkb in my case), there are some warnings about xkb in the log though.

Relevant Hyprland config:

device:pfu-limited-hhkb-hybrid {
  kb_layout = de_hhkb
}

device:pfu-limited-hhkb-hybrid-consumer-control {
  kb_layout = de_hhkb
}

device:pfu-limited-hhkb-hybrid-keyboard {
  kb_layout = de_hhkb
}

device:hhkb-hybrid_1-keyboard {
  kb_layout = de_hhkb
}

.config/xkb/symbols/de_hhkb:

default partial alphanumeric_keys

xkb_symbols "basic" {
  include "de"
  name[Group1] = "Custom HHKB DE layout by pschmitt";
  // https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4250

  // 1. Determine the scancode of the key
  // $ wev
  //
  // 2. Get the internal ID
  // $ </usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev | grep -E "=\s+(132)"
  // <AE13> = 132;   // Yen
  //
  // 3. The key name to map to can be fetched via:
  // $ </usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h grep -E "#define XK_"

  // The mapping goes as follows:
  // key <KEY_ID> { [ map1, map2, map3, map4 ]};
  // Where:
  // map1: normal key press
  // map2: shift + key
  // map3: AltGr + key
  // map4: AltGr + shift + key

  // YEN KEY (Insert) -> "pipe" char
  key <AE13> { [ bar, bar, bar, bar ] };

  // HYPHEN/BACKSLASH KEY -> "<>|"
  key <AB11> { [ less, greater, bar, bar ] };

  // TILDE/CIRCUMFLEXE KEY (F12) -> caret
  key <AE12> { [ dead_acute, dead_grave, asciitilde, caret ] };

  // Z KEY (ie Y in qwertz)
  key <AB01> { [ y, Y, bar, bar ] };

  // ESC Key
  key <ESC> { [escape, dead_circumflex, dead_circumflex, escape] };
};
