Archlinux boots with German ISO keyboard layout even though US ANSI is defined

I recently switched from DE-ISO to US-ANSI layout and have an issue across my Archlinux machines that I cannot resolve which is a bit painful as the encryption key expects German layout but my keyboard is US. Here is what I have tried so far: 1. Checked that the US keymap is available on my system:

~
    ❯ localectl list-keymaps | grep -iI "us"
    
    amiga-us
    atari-us
    br-latin1-us
    cz-us-qwertz
    is-latin1-us
    mac-us
    sunt5-cz-us
    sunt5-us-cz
    us
    us-acentos
    us1

1. Changed KEYMAP for the vconsole:

~
    ❯ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
    KEYMAP=us
    FONT=lat9w-16

2. Ensured that the keymap hook comes before the encrypt one in mkinitcpio:

~
    ❯ grep -iI "hooks" /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
    # HOOKS
    # This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
    # order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H ' for
    #    HOOKS=(base)
    #    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
    #    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
    #    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
    #    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
    #    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont encrypt filesystems fsck shutdown)

3. Rebuilt mkinitcpio for the current Linux kernel:

However, when I boot the system, it fails to decrypt my device and between two encryption attempts I keep hitting random keys to see which keymap is active and it turns out it's still the German ISO layout.

❯ uname -a

Is there any other location I could have defined that? What else could I check?
