So the symptoms are:

Only the Super key doesn't work on your system, even at the kernel
level.

The Super key works on windows.

I would conclude it is not the keyboard, but that you have something
set that is capturing that key in linux.  Do you perhaps have it set as
a dead key in your keyboard mapping?  That is, you press that key and
then press two other keys to get a special character.  For instance, on
my system pressing my dead key, the windows menu key, and then t and m
gives the ™ symbol.
