why does windows recognize my keyboard as a mouse and keyboard


That's likely due to it being a generic item and Windows can't fully identify it.

The driver associated to that keyboard is likely returning the device setup class as a mouse and keyboard.

Did you install its driver? How device manager recognizes a device depends on the driver that is used.
