The USB AUTO / Legacy options would suggest to me[1] they are about the 
USB itself, i.e. support for older USB standards (1.1 and/or 2.0), which 
might explain why your keyboard stops working.

As David mentioned, some USB ports might not support booting at all, you 
should try all available USB ports.

[1] Hard to tell without looking at the menus, but the system's / 
motherboard's user manual should explain what each option actually does. 
Admittedly the explanation is often incomplete and/or badly worded.

Kind regards,
Andrei
