 Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2008 1:39 pm Post subject: Differentiating between 2 Keyboards? |
 |
|
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?  ) |

| 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. |
