I wanted to create a keyboard whose keys were colored when I pressed the key on the keyboard. The code has no errors, but when the button is pressed, nothing happens: I don't now if is possible to do that keyboard with that module or i made some errors. Please, help me.

You do not need the keyboard library to handle this.
First lets fix your very redundant code. Instead of writing each button one at a time we can do this in a dynamic way based on a list of characters. At the same time we can store our buttons in a list that we can use to update the buttons on click.
With the use of bind() we can check if one of the keys was press and then update the corresponding button in the list.
By binding all Key Presses and all Key Releases we can use a method to check if one of those keys was from our list and if so update the button on key press and key release.
