Cannot distinguish multiple keyboards. #9975

Open ewtoombs opened 4 years ago

ewtoombs commented 4 years ago

Description

Even though there are two keyboards connected to my computer, retroarch only sees one.

To reproduce

  1. Have two keyboards plugged in.
  2. Config > Input > User N Binds

Expected behavior

"User N Device Index" should be 0 or 1, with the ability to switch between. 0 for one keyboard and 1 for the other.

Actual behavior

It just says "Disabled".

Notes

It makes no difference whether I switch the input driver to udev and run as root.

I have the same issue on windows; but I'm told it's related to Windows not providing an easy way to differentiate between multiple keyboard devices. I'd be willing to pay a bug bounty for a windows resolution.
