The only thing I can think of Daniel, is if you use the same keyboard
driver for all of the keyboards and keypads, it will work this way.
Using separate drivers, which I haven't tried might give them individual
control. Nor do I know how to tell Windows to use this driver for this
keyboard/keypad and not for this one. But if you figure it out, I think
that might work.
