I've tried the suggestion in the OP, unsuccessfully. I'm using a cordless keyboard and assume ReactOS doesn't support the USB transmitter. It's strange, because it supports USB but can't think of any other reason.
So I don't have the debugging information. I accept this may make it impossible and apologise, but will offer a list of my Rig to begin, hoping that it may be enough. If not I will understand. I can try to get a wired keyboard but not sure when.

Once again, apologies this is not all that was asked for. Just hoping.
Brief into of myself..
Retired, 60+ (Can't remember any more
)
Educated to 1st year university level. (Abandoned when I decided to earn real money!!)
Some computer experience, building and limited debugging, but none at the levels to create an OS.
Previously experimented with Linux, though abandoned it.
Can offer to review as appropriate, from the perspective of someone who isn't very knowledgeable, but very keen on a decent OS.
