So... hardware multiboxing?

Keyboard/Keypad Testing

10-key:
I found an old USB 10-key (probably 10 or 20 years old???) so I figured I'd test that real quick. I have no idea what brand this this thing is, but its model number "HTK-101U", exactly like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Number-Keyb...-/264588268580

USB 10-key through the KM Synchronizer - works fine, exact same functionality as through the KM Synchronizer as when plugged in directly. Windows detects the 10-key as a "USB Composite Device" when plugged in directly. But just like with the mice, I don't see any indication that windows even detects it when plugged in through the Synchronizer. Only think I learned is that the "NUM Lock" setting on my keyboard changes the behavior of the separate USB 10-key (so the stand-alone 10-key behaves the same as the built-in 10-key on my keyboard). This is consistent whether through the KM Synchronizer or not.

Razer Tartarus Pro: (https://www.razer.com/gaming-keypads...-03110100-R3U1)
Does not work through the KM Synchronizer - none of the 1-20 buttons work at all through the Synchronizer, although they work fine when directly connected. The thumbpad works and is mapped to keyboard up, down, left, right (arrow keys) as expected and the scroll wheel functions the same as my mouse. But none of the 1-20 keys on the keypad or the keymap selector button register any input. Neither Windows now Razer Central recognize that I have a keypad installed at all. I also tried some online keyboard and gamepad testers (i.e. https://keyboardchecker.com/ and https://gamepad-tester.com/) but they do not register any keypad input either. I expected I'd be stuck on some sort of default keymap, but this seems to be dead in the water. I tried forcing device manager to scan for hardware changes, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Keyboard:
I tried an old "Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard" through the KM Synchronizer. All the main keys on the keyboard seem fine. They keyboard does have a number of special keys to turn volume up/down, open your email, My Documents, calculator, etc - none of those work or register any input at all. Oddly enough the CAPS/NUM/Scroll lights do work, and they even correctly share input with my main keyboard which is plugged into the PC directly. So if I turn CAPS on from the 2nd keyboard going through the KM Synchronizer, then it turns on the CAPS light on both keyboards and they both switch to all CAPS.

On to dual-PC and synchronous input testing.
