JS/ JQuery keyup and keydown Unpredictable behaviours on Android devices

I am writing a web app where I collect the keystroke when the user type in the web forms. It is working fine so far on the desktop but on the mobile device and in particular Android devices it is not. The behaviours is kind unpredictable. For example:

For example on Samsung S4 using the native browser will always give keycode equal zero for any key. When I used the chrome browser version 45.0.2454.84 on Samsung S4 the key code was always 229 for most of the keys.

Using the native browser on Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, I get the correct key code for all the keys ( the same keycode I get using hardware keyboard on desktop) but the shift/modifier key does not fire

Using the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, with chrome browser version 45.0.2454.84 I got the correct key code for all the keys. Agin the modifier key does not fire. When I use the native browser on the Sony Xperia I got the key code equal zero.

I can not really find a pattern even using the same browser "chrome browser version 45.0.2454.84"give different behaviors on the different devices.

On iPhone iPad and Windows Phone I do not have this problem.

I just flagged a bug in Chromium for that. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=531234
