Hey Guys, i'm new

Is it possible to have 2 keyboards on the same computer, but program the keys on only one of them?

Ive got 2 keyboards, a wireless and non wireless,
i know there is software out there that does key programing.

but i havnt been able to find one the does it on duel keybored and still keeping one normal.

I hope that makes sense.

Second of all.
I have never seen a dual keyboard PC in my entire life. Dual screen. Dual stereo. Dual everything else but never keyboards. With the exception of laptops obvously. However that does not mean its not possilbe it may just mean its very very rare.

Its just 2 keyboards plugged into the same comeputer, 1 a usb wireless and the other a normal usb.

i was wondering if anyone has come accross software to program single keys to do stuff. like press 'm' for media player and 'p' for photoshop ect

Thanks

No you can't have two keyboards on the same computer. Many people have tried but no one got it to work as fas as I know off.

Having said that, it looks like using a game-pad alongside your keyboard might be the solution. Program the buttons of your game-pad for the functions you want to use and presto. Also takes up a lot less space on your desk than two keyboards.

well i have to keyboards on my pc!!
one usb (my main one i always use) and the other one is the normal keyboard connector (witch i use to access my bios as usb keyboard wont work on bios post) but both keyboards work perfect i would of expected some sort of problem like freezing but i have had this for 2years now with no problem.. as for programming one of the keyboards keys to do certain stuff am not sure if you can do that even if you could i think it would do the same on the other keyboard

The only way I can think off is to get a keyboard that supports key mapping like the Logitech G11. Works a treat with 18 programmable keys. not sure how this would behave if it's connected to a PC together with a standrd keyboard.
