Multiple keyboards?

[Cannibal Holiday]

Is anyone here running multiple keyboards?

I was curious how it's done. Based on the ability to assign keys to an option key I'm guessing the second keyboard just has one of the modifier keys locked down so all the inputs map to different ASCII numbers than the primary keyboard. Is that the trick?

First see if both keyboards show separately in the controls menu.
If it only shows one, the second keyboard would just be redundant, same with a mouse.
Another controller will show up separately, but not sure if a keyboard will. Try it.

I bought a bunch of the add-ons yesterday so it will be hours before I can log into DCS again. (Slow internet)
Windows doesn't consider keyboards to be distinct devices by default, but I was wondering if people are using tools or just the option modifier I was wondering about.

That way if you're recreating ♥♥♥♥ pit switches you could put a keyboard on each side of the "cockpit", map left side switches to the unmodified keys of the left keyboard and right side switches to the modified keys (say SHIFT+KEY, for example) of the right keyboard.

Then put the custom cockpit labeling on them and no annoying key memorization because you've got a realistic layout with double the number of keys without having to remember shifted keypresses.

Why bother with keyboards?

Get a set of simple switches (electronics stores, army surplus stores etc.) and wire them to a simple board like this:

It shows as normal input device in Windows that you can bind DCS commands to.

Endless customization to your simpit project and much more realism.
