Two keyboards are connected-functioning as one.

Guest

Hi all
i've managed to connect two keyboards to my computer using one PS/2 keyboard
and one USB keyboard.
But Xp sees them as one keyboard... or rather they're functioning as one
keyboard.
for example:If I press "NUMLOCK" key on one of the keyboard, the other turns
it on simulationely.
I'd like to use two keyboards to play computer games with two players...two
controllers.
I'd be thankful to get help.

Does your computer have a game port?

A game port is how you connect a MIDI device to a computer.
MIDI devices are the way you often connect a game
controller, such as a joy stick before USB was invented.

Buy a dual console game pad and use that instead of the
keyboard or get one and use the keyboard and the MIDI game
port both.

See the documentation with the game for their advice on what
works, it isn't really a Windows XP question.
