Dual Keyboard Typing Games?

[mikochu]

Get folks,

Does anyone know of any dual-keyboard typing games?  The girlfriend and I love Typing of the Dead, but it only allows one keyboard.

Thanks,
Mike

I seriously think that it is impossible to split keyboards input on a windows computer like with controllers.

And no windows, very few games.

Maybe you could be more specific?

I think he means like a co-op for typing games

Yes indeed, but stating dual-keyboard, imo, is impossible.

If you know how to have two different keyboard inputs that are separate i would be glad to know it.

I thought it could be done via hardware ID.  Some were saying that the first Typing of the Dead had dual keyboard co-op.

Well in my head it makes more sense for older/simpler systems. AFAIK windows hides all that from the program, you just say "do this" when a key event happens, and then the program figures out what action to run.

If I had 4x arms... haha... and an extra lobe of brain to control them with..

This.

I do not think Windows can split mouse and keyboards inputs, i currently have two keyboards connected in, the Steelseries 7G via PS2 and the Poker II via USB, and i never have the option to split inputs in any games/stuff.

Maybe there's a mod or something. If you find anything please notify this thread because that would be great thanks.

The system can obviously distinguish more (USB) keyboards; that's what HID Macros does on MS Windows. That doesn't mean such functionality is implemented elsewhere, nor that it's bug-free though.
