I don't see what you're trying to test here.  That keyboard is going to
be filtered.  I actually can't get any output from that test when I try
it, regardless of what keys.  If you want to see if the keyboard is
actually producing codes, then you need to use "evtest" instead. 
gets you events at the kernel level.

Thanks, I was just trying whatever I found googling the problem. I did get output from every other key I tried other than Super.  

Just tried evtest and all the keys I tried worked except for Super.

Thanks,
Richard
