Using Dual Keyboards with Windows PC. Recently I found that you can have two keyboards on a Windows 2000 or XP box. You just put the second standard keyboard in a USB port and turn the thing on. First time it may take a few seconds to find the new device, from then on it is automatic. No switch,. No fuss. Works every time. :chk: So why do this? Well, it is nice if you are trying to help somebody else learn to type of use the keyboards shortcuts. You can sit beside the person and have your own keyboard, so the other does not have to take her fingers off the main keyboard. :doh: But the is another reason. You can tear up an old keyboard and use it for your old DOS games that use the Shift, Ctrl ans Alt keys. Tear off the keys that get in your way. Use a screwdriver. Save your good keyboard from game abuse. Did not find much on this in a Google search. I took a picture and put it here: http://geek9pm.com/dual_key0006.jpg
