XP & HID device issues (mouse/keyboards!)
Hi there,
using the HI tool doesn’t show mice or keyboards as even though these are HID, i believe they are seperated from other HID’s like my joysticks which show up. i believe this only happens on XP as it "sucks" and osx HI seems to have no problem from what i read about other osx/hi users.
I really need to access two keyboards as seperate devices in max, in XP..
Any clues?
Basically XP strips away the "uniqueness" of each connected keyboard, however there are ways around it. You’ll need to write a custom keyboard driver I think, to access the raw data. Google "multiple keyboards XP" or similar to get started.
True, and this is what i expected to occur.
Judging from what i looked at in LibUSB, there’s not a hell of a lot of difference between HID keyboard mouse and any other device. I’m wondering why a purely raw usb external wasn’t created.
Either way, is there any way to ‘fool’ windows into recognising the keyboard as a joystick? that way it circumvents kb/mouse HID issues.
(thanks windows for being silly)
