Can you use two keyboards on one PC?

Answer by  Anonymous

Right now, I have a laptop hooked up to a dock with a monitor and a second keyboard, so I'm using both keyboards at the same time (one hand on each) to type this response. It's not as hard as you may think in either respect!

I just hooked up two keyboards to my one computer via USB ports. I am typing this with keyboard #1. I am typing this with keyboard #2. No extra software - both are the same model logitech USB keyboard. So, yes, you can do it. Just hook them up. Enjoy!

There is no way you can use two keyboard at the same time as computers only have one keyboard interrupt, one keyboard controller and one keyboard socket. You can connect two keyboard to one computer via a KVM switch and alternate between the two but not both at the same time.

Yes you can use to keyboards on one computer at the same time. Try using usb key boards or a USB and wireless one that way you can move the wireless on out of they way when you are not using it. I hope this information helpful to you. Thanks.

Of course you can! The result of doing so depends on your operating system though. Combining a keyboard with a PS/2 connector with one with a USB connection should work in any system. Adding other USB keyboards should work as well. There are also USB hubs with switches that allow you to switch between different USB input devices.

You can, but you need software to do it. There's an application called Brainstorm that will allow you to use multiple mice, and another called Teamplayer which will allow you to use multiple keyboards. Apparently you can also connect a PS2 and a USB keyboard and use both simultaneously.

No one can use two keybard in a single pc. If anyone try to use such a condition, the secondary keyboad will not respond by the pc. A personal computer will accept one keyboard at a time. These are my experianc which i have done after reading from this site.

It only kinda works. If you press shift on one keyboard, and hit "a" on the other, you'll get "a" instead of "A"
