How to use two keyboards simultaneously on a single computer?

Question

I am working with a colleague on the same computer, but I would like the opportunity to work at the same time, I have two USB keyboards and two mouses and use Teamplayer to work with 2 mouses. but for now can only write with one keyboard. Anybody know any program or how to work two keyboards on windows?

Answer 1

Turn the computer into a virtual server, set up two separate virtual machines. Retail products such as VMware do virtual servers.



This would require you to use a separate computer for accessing the virtual servers though. Might defeat the purpose.

Answer 2

Not possible. While you can have two (and more) programs running, only one of them can be active at a time. If two people were to try to type at the same time, both their letters would end up in document jumbled together. Using two mice is a different issue, as the mouse cursor is not part of the "active program". You can run them separate from anything. But a keyboard only inputs to the active program.

Answer 3

You want a kind of containers that they promote on the shops. I consider is known as a kvm transfer or some thing like that. It allows you to use a million mouse, track and keyboard on two diffrent desktops. Thats all you want even though.
