Can I plug 2 USB keyboards at the same time ?

I have an arcade and the controls are a USB HID...

I want to buy a real USB keyboard to chat within MCE...

Is it possible ?

Thanks,

Mike

Click to expand...

yes, I do it all the time. So I can type into the computer from
different locations.

it's not any use for playing a 2 player game 'cos it'd control the same
player. unless the game has written into it a way to distinguish
between the keyboards. Same with mouse's'.

I use it for-
ps2 kvm extender gives me remote access. usb gives local access. kvm
extender is good way to get vga'/'monitors in different remote
locations - usb can't do that.

could use usb+ cat5 usb extender or usb booster cable. to get
mouse/keyb/usb device r/w access from different remote locations.

Thanks for explanations !!

I won't use my Arcade controls while I'm chatting / working
on MCE with my other keyboard... so it is ok

thanks again
