Re: [microsound] OT- HW: one keypad controlling 2 computers over usb?

[Tim Opie <t.opie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you do actually need an identical physical keystroke sent, another option 
would be to pull the pressure sensor mat and wires out of one keyboard and lay 
them over the top of the other pressure sensor mat in the other keyboard, so 
one keystroke will create two independant keystrokes. I haven't tried this, but it 
seems like a simple enough operation :)
