Hi everyone. My question is, is it possible to use a keyboard like a gamepad/joystick or something? I want to play games with two keyboards, is it possible to make the computer see the other keyboard as a gamepad? (by hardware or software) Thanks in advance..

p.s= The thread was somewhere else, but i moved it here, it seemed more appropriate here to me..

What games are you playing that require/would want two full keyboards?

I'm sure if you plug a second usb keyboard into Windows it would recognize the additional device. But the bigger question is, would the game recognize the 2nd keyboard?

There is no software that I know of to turn a kb into a gamepad.

The games like PES, or NBA for instance. To be precise, i want to play that games, with two keyboards, by two people.:) I thought that, with some kinda driver(like a modified driver of a gamepad) can make windows or the games recognise it as a gamepad..

there is a game (biohazard 4)
in that game keyboard as well as gamepad, both can be used.
but inside the game mission, the player has to press the "1","3","5","6" button which is possible only in gamepad.
