Two keyboards

[officialblueboys]

Is this is posiible to use two keyboards on a single pc.

 

[Geoff]

Yes, you can use as many keyboards as you have ports for. (ex. 1 PS/2, 8 USB). I have 2 keyboards on my desktop right now.

You couldnt really do that, since the computer sees it as 1 keyboard, its just that you can use both of them at once. But you cant use it for 2person game, lol

Well for me, i have a keyboard at my desk, and another on near my bed. That way when im in bed i can use the media controls on the second keyboard and change the songs, volume, ect.

Thats cool I never knew you could do that. Can you also have two mice?

 

[Chris Chan]

actually you probably could. just as long as you set the controls for each player. each player would have to use keys that the other one would not even touch and vice versa. my roommate in college and i did this to play jeporady.

but then again there is the problem of the mice....i dont know if you could set the game to work with two mice independently. also, you would have to have a game that lets you play splitscreen. i dont think many of them are out there??
