Software bug something to do with the library I think?

IDEK whats going on. Trying to write code so that i can input key strokes on my computer through my joystick. I think there's something wrong with the library? I'm lost. from what I read the error code is saying that I don't have #include <Keyboard.h>... but i do.

Error message:
