Two keyboards?

[Kai]

Anyone has done how to use two keyboards as separate input devices before on T7?

Depends on too many factors to make a simple guide here.

In short: if your keyboards have internal memory you can make them appear as separate devices and then configur them individually.

You can not make one keyboard press A and let it register as "key A was pressed on keyboard 1" and then press the key A on keyboard 2 and the system recognizing it as "key A from keyboard 2", it will just register it as "key A was pressed".

You can, like I said before, if the keyboard has an internal memory: make keyboard 1 work normally and then make keyboard 2 changing their layout.

Aka: Keyboard 2, the "A" key is now "F13", "S" is now "F14", "D" is now "L", "W" is now "-", etc.

The "function" keys go up to 24, btw, aka f13, f14, f15, up to f24 exist, and are barely used on most systems.

There are also ways to change your "keyboard" from english, german, whatever language you have and create your own keyboard layout on windows itself and then have the 2nd keyboard use keys like á, á, ä, etc. (aka doubling the available keys) and then separately configure both keyboards to that newly created windows keyboard layout.

And on that note: one keyboard can stay the same while the other one is using greek, latin, etc. letters.

the "difficult" part is the game being able to recognize those keys and figuring out what you can change and use. Not every game allows the function keys to be used, and I can not remember what Tekken allows

in t8 you can use numpad and arrow keys to play as p2

Most keyboards don't allow for normal 2 players input.

I don't think he needs it to know what jeyboard pressed what, just way to play with two players on keyboard.

Yeah, i tried that last week and both keyboards take the same inputs for both players, i had to put one keybind to the numpads amd the other to the left.

Ill try the language change if it works
