No keyboard input at encryption hook

Hi there,
after using some arch based systems, I have decided to do a vanilla arch install on my dell latitude e6230.
I managed to install the base system and even the bootloader (refind) and boot to a certain extend.
Because I plan to take the laptop outside of my home sometimes, I decided to encrypt the root and home partition.
Naturally, during the boot process, the system asks for the password, however for some reason the integrated keyboard aswell as a keyboard that was plugged in while building initramfs don't work.

My boot partition looks like this:

EFI initramfs-linux-zen.img initramfs-linux-fallback.img refind_linux.conf initramfs-linux-hardened-fallback.img vmlinuz-linux initramfs-linux-hardened.img vmlinuz-linux-hardened initramfs-linux.img vmlinuz-linux-zen initramfs linux-zen-fallback.img

My initcpio.conf looks like this:

MODULES=(serio libps2 atkbd) # I added these trying to fix the problem
HOOKS=(base udev keyboard keymap autodetect modconf block encrypt filesystems fsck)

Also no errors during mkinitcpio -P (just a potentially missing firmware for quat_4xxx which is not keyboard related)

I found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=243961 but it didn't help.

I hope you can help me with this.

Kind regards
Simon
