From then on , I can only operate (Choose ,continue ,back) by mouse click. ACCEPTABLE! When I come to the screen to type in account name and password, I am halted, can not go on.

Complete your profile with hardware details.

Eg:
System : Lenovo Z570 (Clover)
CPU : Intel Core I3-2310M / HM65
Graphics : Intel HD 3000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities.

Thank you.
I updated my profile. Following the post , I installed Clover and boot computer by usb, start OSX installation process, but it come to a grid of 4 screens. The keyboard still not active.

You probably used the wrong config.plist. And you probably didn't install PS2 drivers.
