Did you get software with the keyboard. Sounds like you are missing the driver.
Then there is the obvious. Did you go to the control panel and click on keyboard? Did you reboot? (I’m sure you did all that, but it bears repeating.)

Did a little research.
This site was fun. Make one of your own. (lol)
