Haven't used my mac in quite some time, but I would assume from PC experience your drivers are toast?

during boot, before the apple comes up, hit apple + option + p + r

if that does nothing, instead, hit apple + option + o + f and type in "reset-nvram" hit enter, and then type "reset-all"

If neither of those work, try -just- holding option during boot. If -that- doesn't work, then the keyboard really is dead. If it brings up the boot manager, then it's a problem with software somewhere along the line.
