Can you try booting from an install image of FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE with usbhid enabled? You have to escape to the loader prompt and execute "set hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1". Report whether the keyboard works in the installer. Also try an install image for CURRENT such as FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-20250807-02f394281fd6-279407-bootonly.iso where you don't have to manually enable usbhid as it is already enabled by default.
