Have you activated USB Keyboard in your Bios. I'm guessing that's your problem.
I`m able to press F10 to get into the bios, so I guess so

Well, if you can do that, then It's really weird that you can't us the keyboard in the pre-environment.
If you insert your Win7 CD, can you press a key to boot from it?

I had a problem with my Logitech Wave KB in the BIOS on my old Asus P5N32-E SLI board. Cursor would just run up and down on all the menu items incessantly, so I had to time my keystrokes to access something, or change the KB. It was quite an achievement to get something done with only my Wave KB.

Can`t do boot options(OS selection), and windows pre-environment(repair etc.), tried to find out what the problem is, and people say its due to incompatibility of some keyboards with win7. Just found it funny that my Microsoft keyboard would be incompatible while a cheap-ass Chinese one works.
I`ll make a youtube video if you don`t believe me

No it's cool, I believe you.
I would return it if I were you, how long have you had it for?

Yurk.
It's your PC that's incompatible with the keyboard.
Seriously.

You sure it's not caused by the microwave tower closest to you?

Whats a pre-environment?
That's nothing, my friend has a Microsoft BlueTooth notebook mouse; works fine in Windows XP, but Vista and Windows 7 cannot find drivers for it.
It also works on his new MacBook Pro, so guess who's never going back to Windows.
