USB device access is complicated to say the least.
If you've got USB-to-serial devices, they should still show up as "COM1" or whatever, so you may be able to still use that. But, if you need to reconfigure the port settings, you'll have to use the Communications API.
As far as direct USB device access, I think you'll have to use the WinUSB API. But, a keyboard is going to be detected as a HID device and Windows probably won't let you talk to it directly.
Unless we're talking about a musical keyboard, which probably shows up as a MIDI device.
