For some reason my computer won't boot with the keyboard plugged in. Unless of course my computer starting to not boot with the keyboard plugged in, doing it a few times, and then starting to work when I unplugged it is a coincidence, but I don't think that it is.

SuperBobKingHmm, interesting. Please let me know the specs of your computer, I've done some interesting things with USB in order to get NKRO to work.
Many BIOSs and bootloaders do not follow the proper USB HID spec unfortunately (check to see if there are any USB legacy options in the BIOS, that fixes things sometimes). There's not a lot I can do about this other than turn off USB NKRO by default.

SuperBobKingI have heard of this happening before, especially with EVGA motherboards.

HaaTaI know that my motherboard is made by gigabyte and has UEFI, I can't remember the model off the top of my head. The cpu is an AMD FX-8350. It stops before it ever gets to the motherboard splash screen, but this mobo doesn't actually tell me what it is doing so I don't know what stage it is failing at. It could be something with the USB ports, because I have some issues with my focusrite scarlet solo as well (but only in windows) There is one port that the audio interface won't work at all in (it started out working fine and then stopped when I did something with the drivers trying to get it to work) and that is the one that I had the keyboard plugged into. I can't remember if I have tried booting it with the board plugged into another port yet though.

HaaTaI have yet to find a device that relies on the boot protocol and reads the HID report descriptor. W/ my keyboard FW I start out in boot protocol and switch to report protocol (default by USB spec) once the report descriptor is read. Works flawless so far :)

GrendelI have a mechanism (either using keypresses or using the virtual serial port debug terminal) to enable/disable the USB Boot endpoint. It's not well documented yet, but if there is interest I can right a how-to guide.
