No device is showing up

I want to use my keyboard as a controller, and when I go to my controller settings the Standard Controller is selected. However when I am at the button selection screen, my laptop keyboard is not listed as a device and when I try to assign buttons to keys nothing happens. I have searched all over the internet and within forums but there is nothing about this. Any suggestions?

Also, there are 0 devices listed and I am on a Windows 8 Dell if that helps. Please somebody SOS. I am staring at Animal Crossing and am in dire need of fishing.

Is there any windows updates pending for you to install? Check the optional updates also.

Hmmmmmm.....

Are you on Windows 8 or 8.1?

Try downloading and running the DirectX Web Updater.

I am on Windows 8.1, and I have realized that the whole system of updates seems messed up on my brand new computer. Online it says many people have been experiencing this. Windows 8 is so trashy man, but I think I finally did as much as I could without bringing my computer to someone. Dolphin is still not letting me assign buttons to keys, and there is still no device showing up.

Yeah win 8 and 8.1 is basically windows vista all over again. They rushed it out and failed in a big way. Windows 10 I here will be free for win 8.x users. Its m$ way of admitting yet another failed OS. I'd see about getting it.
