Shortcuts from a specific keyboard
« on: July 12, 2019, 08:38:44 AM »
There's a way to make a shortcut from a specific keyboard?
I got a number keyboard and I want to use like a streamdeck, but when I specified a key shortcut on voiceattack all keyboards plugged have the key ativated
I want to do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUS9A96cHfQ like HIDMacros but this software doesn't works well on Windows 10 anymore.

If you're asking whether this is currently available: No.


While it is technically possible to differentiate between HID input devices, as HIDMacros proves, the Windows input system is designed so that all keyboard and mice devices manipulate the same central state.

This is also why flight simulator hardware tends to either use the DirectInput joystick API (which is explicitly designed to differentiate between devices), or a generic HID device driver that interfaces with other software to pass events along to a custom API (E.G. Saitek's Pro Flight panels, which were originally designed to interface with FSX's Simconnect API).
