When the target element is a button type('{enter}') fires the events

• keydown

Test code to reproduce

Cypress Version

9.2.0

Other

If the key is the Enter or key and the current focus is on a state-changing element, the default action MUST be to dispatch a click event, and a DOMActivate event if that event type is supported by the user agent (refer to § 3.5 Activation triggers and behavior for more details)

Once the cypress test has failed, if you click "reset", then click the second button and press "Enter" you will see the correct output.
