Question about the app. #575

Spontini commented 1 month ago

I have a keyboard with a numpad and I am thinking about buying a numpad only keyboard and hoping to use it as a button box. Would it break my main keyboards numpad or this software can recognize two different hardwares and only remap the other one?

Windows doesn't have a way to tell the difference between the two bits of HW, when remapping. You'd likely have to have a special driver to treat the extra keypad differently, sort of what Elgato's Stream Deck products do.
