Hi,

I am aware that this has been asked before, but the last threads are years old, so maybe the situation has changed:

Is it possible to differentiate whether a certain keystroke is coming from keyboard 1 or keyboard 2 when two keyboards are attached to the PC?

This would make possible a really cheap "shortcut board": Just buy one of these cheap USB number input blocks for notebooks.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
rh

Hmm, If you convinced the computer that the 2nd keyboard you've installed is not really a keyboard put something else then you could probably do it. Do not know if there is an easier way to do it via AHK.

As far as I know, the AHK code for this is poor to nonexistent. I would like to see it happen as well. As a workaround, I've thought about buying a cheap joystick, which of course sends different keystrokes. ( joystrokes? :lol: )

In this thread there is some more information. If you can compile this nice C# toolkit to a dll, it would solve the problem with AHK dllcalls.
