2 Keyboards 1 pc

Darth-Nero · 04-01-2010, 12:41 AM

Me and my friend were just looking for a way to connect 2 keyboards to one computer so we can enjoy playing all sort of 2D fighting games. We kinda hate joypads when it comes to fighting games,Keyboards will be more awesome for us.

So i googled and i found a pile of bullshit,The only thing i saw worth of trying is to use a usb ps2 keyboard which the pc will read as a joypad while it's actually a keyboard so problem will be solved however,They don't sell ps2 keyboards here but they do sell pc usb keyboards.

So i just can go ahead and buy it but i doubt that it will work simultaneously with the other keyboard,So this is where i need a help of a genius to confirm weather will it work or not and if it wont work,What do i need?

I would say use the regular keyboard, then buy a separate USB keyboard and that should work.

Pfft What's the use of controllers? Oh yes, it's easier to win a fighting game when you're using the keyboard. My bad.

kluang · 04-01-2010, 08:20 AM

Saw this one before,People say it works but the keyboards/mouses operate very slow.

How many buttons do you need, and are they customizable? You could try buying one of those stand alone number pads if the size and low number of buttons are not a hindrance.

Darth-Nero · 04-01-2010, 11:27 AM

I need 6 or 8 at max (Incase if i wanted to set some hotkeys),And yes they are customizable.

A full keyboard will be perfect because i change buttons according to what am playing. Like in street fighter games there is 3 punch buttons and 3 kicks so i set (A,S,D,F..Z,X,C,V..where F,V are hotkeys) but in games like king of fighters there is only 2 for each so i set the buttons beside each others (A,D..Z,X,C,V..where A,D are hotkeys)

However,A number pad like this wont be such a bad idea actually,But i'll keep it as my last desperate solution if every thing else failed.

^Number pads are pretty nice

I think we've been in a similar situation before. So, just in case I didn't say it the first time, me scoffing at your retardation isn't due to my lack of comprehension. It's just me scoffing at your retardation.

That cool, or is that beyond your understanding? [insert faggysmilie here]
