fifa 14 keyboard not working

I just purchased the Dell Inspiron 15 3542. 

The device is a decent build, with GeForce 840M and i7 4510U on the board. Its right out of the box, so I'm assuming the drivers are all up to date. Anyway, I checked for the input device drivers (read further to know how that's my first guess about what the problem is), and windows tells me they are up to date. 

Now the issue I'm facing right now is that my keyboard, which works perfectly fine during normal usage by the way, isn't functional in games. The device is running Windows 8.1 9200 build. 

I tried a couple of games, but since there's an issue with my regular high speed connection, I've only tried setups I had on me, including FIFA 14 and Torrente 3. 

The games load and then I can move the cursor around with the touchpad, but I can't click. And as for the keyboard, nothing works, except for Alt+F4 and other windows (presumably, explorer) controls. This problem is not just through the load screen, I just can't do anything at all.

This Game is not compatible with the windows 8 metro interface and not Dell software so its not supported here.

Hey there... I know it's a bit late reply.. but just to let you know...

I had the same problem with my new Dell laptop... with same config as yours...

After working around with various options.. I finally got over it...

It might work out for you.. try it..

Just go to your keyboard and mouse properties in control panel. 

And ROLLBACK your Driver to a previous version.....

Now you should be able to use your mouse and keyboard in the game..!

Peace!!

Rolling back of drivers is done when the driver is updated. I have bought a new Dell Inspiron 3542 (for which the driver isnt updated, since it might be up to date) and facing the same problem too. Someone please help us! :-(

Plug in a usb mouse before you start the game. Then start the game and enjoy !

game works.

note: donot plug in the usb mouse after game starts, plug it in before that.

cheers!

After play F1FA (keyboard only mode), my ThinkPad's Space, Enter, and Backspace not working anymore... I buy a new keyboard to replace it, working well for 2 days?!? Day 3 my ThinkPad didn't power on, try to put the old keyboard again, it power on but Space, Enter, and Backspace still not working?!?

HERE THE SOLUTION:

Enter F1FA with a USB keyboard, play the match with a ThinkPad keyboard until feeling the Space for shoot working, change keyboard-only mode to keyboard & mouse mode and the genius problem will solve!
