The scripts in this thread need only be used to capture special keys that standard keyboards don't have. However, it seems you are trying to assign hotkeys to ordinary keys. Look up the topic "hotkeys" in the Autohotkey help file to see if that's what you're trying to do. If it isn't: what special keys on what brand of keyboard are you trying to change?

I want to distinguish among 6 different QWERTY keyboards, attached to the same laptop. You can take any key press as an example, for example F1, or A. For different devices I want to assign then different actions/reactions.

Then I can use those 6 devices, for real-time parallel game playing, for six players. For example some form of speed-typing-game. Who writes faster correct strings will win. I posted also some horse-race kind of ideas in this forum. See my few posts before.

Here one example output:

We can see the handle is the only difference. Now for a three-player-scenario, I would like to start a one-minute-timer and let them type some strings/words/trigrams, and give each player a score based on speed minus made-errors. Plus some real-time horse-race visualization, as a future addon.
