Problem with a keymap in Manjaro on an old Macbook Pro


Hello,

I have Manjaro installed on my old Macbook Pro, precisely it is MacBookPro5,3.

If I switch to one of the consoles via CTRL + ALT + F<num>, the keymap is set to uk by default and that would be OK but this is not correct for Macbooks

Code:
[macbookpro ~]$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: uk
   X11 Layout: gb
  X11 Variant: mac
I can list all possible keymaps filtered by uk and mac-uk is in the list

Code:
[macbookpro ~]$ localectl list-keymaps | grep uk
atari-uk-falcon
dvorak-uk
dvorak-ukp
mac-uk
sunt5-uk
sunt6-uk
uk
The problem is if I set this keymap using loadkeys mac-uk when working on one of the TTY consoles, the keyboard does not work at all; frankly, it is a mess, such that keys produce completely different characters that they supposed to. For instance, if I press BACKSPACE, I get a letter e.

Does anyone have an idea how to sort it out?

Thanks
