Can't read input from keyboard/mouse using Nuget GameInput lib on PC

Currently working with the latest version of Microsoft.GameInput version 0.2303.22621.3038.

Using the follwing code, I'm able to read the axis values of a Logitech joystick

IGameInputReading* reading;
if (SUCCEEDED(g_gameInput->GetCurrentReading(GameInputKindController, nullptr, &reading)))
{
	uint32_t count = reading->GetControllerAxisCount();
	std::vector<float> v(count);
	reading->GetControllerAxisState(count, v.data());
	for (uint32_t i = 0; i < count; i++)
	{
		std::cout << "axis " << i << ": " << v[i] << "  ";
	}
	std::cout << std::endl;
	reading->Release();
}

But I'm unable to do the same for a keyboard or a mouse. Here's the code I used for the keyboard

IGameInputReading* reading;
if (SUCCEEDED(g_gameInput->GetCurrentReading(GameInputKindKeyboard, nullptr, &reading)))
{
	uint32_t count = reading->GetKeyCount();
	if (count == 0)
	{
		std::cout << "No key" << std::endl;
	}
	else
	{
		std::vector<GameInputKeyState> v(count);
		reading->GetKeyState(count, v.data());
		for (uint32_t i = 0; i < count; i++)
		{
			std::cout << "Key " << i << ": " << v[i].codePoint << " ";
		}
		std::cout << std::endl;
	}
	device->Release();
	reading->Release();
}

The GetKeyCount function always returns 0 and I also tried to used a fixed buffer and called GetKeyState first, but the function also always returns 0.I'm aware some functionalities like the CreateAggregateDevice are yet to be implemented, is it also the case for keyboard/mouse support?
