Possible Setup for two keyboards to a system???

[squall_01]

I have a connector splitter made to plug into the serial mini din connector the thing is it only needs one right?  So in other words if I wasnt useing the keyboard port I can connect another one an it should work okay in multi games an what not.

I have 2 mice (lol) on my computer....One is wireless and the other is connected. They work at the same time. I dont know whether what your saying will work....soz
Why don't you just try it?

Yeah Squall, why not try it?

As far as I know, you cannot use two keyboards (or mouse for that matter) at the same time for different applications.

[squall_01]

ment for the same but i'll just have to then

If you are on microsoft word and you have two keyboard plugged in, they will both type in microsoft word.

1 question:
Why would you want to do this ? ?

[squall_01]

Two people wont have to share the same board.  If your both used to using arrow keys the other might be harder to use.  It didnt work any how.  The other one didnt light up.

So you have 2 people on the computer at the same time ? ?
I'd like to see some of those Office Documents or gaming results...

[squall_01]

Yeah if it worked, maybe the board was bad?

What? The keyboard?

You simply cannot have two or more of the same input devices on a computer and expect it to work properly, if not at all.

[squall_01]

Thats what I was half expecting.

Say, Don't Macs make two cursors when you plug in two mice?

[squall_01]

[BC_Programmer]
