I have the 13-in 2012 MBP. I have installed W7 and W8.1 using both USB and DVD. If you have the physical DVD that you know works in a PC please test with the DVD. Did you run SMC/NVRAM Reset with all external devices disconnected before you tried the USB?

You will be unable to install Windows if your internal keyboard does not work.

However, there may be a work around. What type of an external keyboard are you using? Do you have access to an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard?

Is it a USB Keyboard? Instead of using the Command key, have you tried using the Windows key to run SMC Reset/NVRAM Reset?

Does your external Windows keyboard respond when you see this error message? Was SMC reset done with all external peripherals disconnected?

The Installer loads drivers from the USB. It does not enable an external keyboard, because it does not know that your internal keyboard is not working.

Can you test using a DVD installer?

The ISO file used to create the USB installer can also be burned to a DVD. You will need a blank recordable DVD.
