Plugging in a PS2 keyboard worked, forgot to mention it here.

Hi. I just got this old computer, it wasn't working, (i posted in a previous thread) and i got it fixed, and now i have encountered a new problem. I have a usb gaming keyboard and a ps2 mouse, i tried to connect it and it light up, but when i attempted to type, it didn't do anything. i plugged in my phone charger to see if the ports were working, all of them work. I plugged the keyboard into my laptop and it works, so the keyboard is not the problem.

I'm assuming you have the keyboard pluged into a USB port where the PS2 port for the mouse is.

Try plugging it into a regular USB port, those being normally under or around the LAN port and see if anything changes.

I plugged it in right next to the lan port, it lights up, but still no input. Caps lock and num lock light up.

Hmmmm.....
Make sure you're not plugging it into anything but a standard USB, not one that's blue or red.
