Remapping external number pad without remapping laptop?

Post by Stinkfoot9 » 30 Jul 2023, 00:38

Could I remap a external number pad without remapping the keys on my laptop?
Here is a photograph of a product similar to what I would like to get, I would like to use it to take the stress off my right hand.

Usually, Windows - and also AHK's hotkey/remap mechanism - won't distinguish between separate keyboards.

So you need smth on a deeper system level - like the third-party Interception driver. evilC has wrapped it for AHK v1 (Edit: on his github, there is also a v2 version available)

Have a look at https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=115282 (AHK v2),
https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=45307 (AHK v1)
and https://github.com/evilC/AutoHotInterception (for both).
