Question for all you software programmers....

Again, I recommend http://www.download.com/Keyboard-Com...dlPid=10832559 I intend to add a numeric keypad I have laying around to my configuration.

I downloaded Keyboard Commander from ZDnet, it came with 6 trojans named New Malware.eb Dont download it, at least from there

I also just now downloaded it from the link you provided, the same trojans showed up.

I am not sure if this has been posted already, but if you have two PCs HotKeyNet allows you to have both keyboards control either (or both) PCs such that each keyboard implements different behaviours.

(If you have 4 PCs you could have 4 keyboards with different behaviours for each keyboard)

Yep, if you have two PCs, HotkeyNet can do it, but not with a single PC. I read the Raw Input documentation pretty carefully the other day to see if I could add "one pc many keyboards" to HKN. Everything looked good except that with Raw Input, there doesn't seem to be a way to block the trigger key (the one that fires the hotkey) from passing to the foreground window. This might be okay for a pure broadcasting program but HKN is a hotkey program and it's supposed to offer the option with every hotkey of either passing or not passing the trigger key.

LOL well i do have a second PC right here. Maybe i could use it JUST for hotkeynet, and while im at it i could run napster and Ventrilo on it to to save my main pcs load. something to think about thanks guys

[Freddie]

Then sure, you can do it that way. It will work like you wanted with two keyboards in one PC. The only difference will be a microscopic amount of latency, less than a millisecond (I measured it since my earlier post).

just looked at this thread since I was wondering the same thing. since I don't have money for x-keys. I think I'm going to try Keyboard Commander as well. I downloaded it and scanned it using my anti-virus and http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and there were no viruses or malware found. I'd like to use it on a spare keyboard or 10-key and just put some stickers over the keys for WoW related stuff.
