Kwisatz Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Okay, I have an adapter that lets you plug in a ps/2 keyboard and mouse and use them thru the usb port. I also have keyboard and mouse ps/2 ports on my motherboard. Is there any way I can plug two keyboards into the USB adapter (although one ps/2 port on the usb adapter is labeled mouse) and set them each up as a gamepad? So that any game that recognizes and uses gamepads can use the keyboard? handed me TWO tissues to clear up. I was like "i'm going to need a few more paper towels than that luv" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonda Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 ermm... well, you are able to use two keyboards or mice at once on one computer if one is USB and the other ps2 or you have an adaptor... but I think what you are asking is can you plug them both in and then use one for a certain set of actions in a game, and another for a certain set of actions. I don't think that is possible Say I am playing counterstrike (hope your somewhat familiar with it) It would work like this: Keyboard1: Letter "A" is bound to *walk left* Keyboard2: Letter "A" is bound to *walk left* I don't think it is possible to work like this: Keyboard1: Letter "A" is bound to *walk left* Keyboard2: Letter "A" is bound to *walk right* I could be wrong.... but as far as my knowledge goes you can't. Maybe there is some sort of program out there to... I dunno, any one else have any thoughts? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwisatz Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 In a nutshell...but my goal is to use it for emulators so my bro and I can play Goldeneye and be able to use more than just the Stick. My keyboard and mouse USB adapter is seen as HID compliant. I know there are HID-compliant joysticks out there as well. Is there a program that emulates an HID joystick as an HID keyboard? handed me TWO tissues to clear up.

Then set the controls for player1 to be like wasd and Player2 8456, however... that is only if the game allows for seperate profiles for mutiple players It is possible yes, but it actually depends on the game itself so give it a whirl :wink: ...
