2 Keyboards?

Shocked 
I have a quick question that's been on my mind for some time.

Does Dolphin support 2 different keyboards? Huh What I mean is, if I was to set the controls of 'Dolphin KB/X360pad' using 2 different keyboards to something like this:

(Microsoft keyboard)
Controller 1

A: Num 1
B: Num 2
X: Num 3
Y: Num 4


(Logitech keyboard)
Controller 2
A: Num 1
B: Num 2
X: Num 3
Y: Num 4

would it work? (I have tried this on Super Smash Bros Melee, however both controller 2 and 1 ends up being controller 1.

Is there anyway possible that the program or my computer could recognise that these 2 keyboards are different and therefore if I was to press Num 1 on my logitech keyboard it wouldn't be as if I pressed it on my Microsoft one.

By the way I would like to have the controls the same. This means that for the second controller, I would not have to set the controls differently from the 1st controller.

(I have tried numerous google searches, but to no avail) Sad


Please help me with this! I would gladly appreciate anyone's help.Big Grin

A friend did the same, both keyboards shared the keys so the only use was being able to press 6+ keys at the same time (i'm sure some of you guys experienced the key limit in 2 player racing games).
The mouse (at least in Windows, dunno in other OS) behaves exactly the same (default) but some driver can make dual-mouse possible.

I guess you have already found some answers about using USB Keyboard + Mouse and connect them to virtual machine, even if it won't help at all because you are not going to run 2 instances of Dolphin and connect them...

Unless you modify the code so the server Dolphin works in netplay as usual (p1 plugged), and the client one (In Virtual machine, p2 plugged), does not emulate or anything, just send input signals to server, like a remote controller.

That would be crazy but it would be the only way i know to make it work as you want.

Yep. There's really no practical need for two keyboards in different instances.

You could of course use a gamepad instead of a keyboard...

there's a limitation in windows. Linux is not limited because of the different windowing system.

It has the same limitation as keyboards on Windows, don't know how's that on Linux.
Explained on my previous post.
