Keyboard inoperable

hey all. i recently installed Manjaro to use as a daily. I use Garuda for gaming and like it. My problem with Manjaro is I cant get the built in keyboard to work right off the start. It never does come online so I’m not even able to log in. I cant post the inxi obviously. I’m using the same options that I used on the live USB that I installed it with. I have done the install twice using a separate download. Any ideas on where to start? I dont have another keyboard to try but my USB mouse works and the touchpad also works. I have no issues with the keyboard in Garuda.
