Unless you want to be an alpha tester for the [hid] object (which would
be much appreciated :), I would suggest using [linuxevent] for now.
Each USB keyboard should have its out /dev/input/event? device, so you
would have one [linuxevent] object for each keyboard. This is a lower
level than getting the info from X.
IIRC, the keyboard keys are not yet fully mapped with the [hid] object.
Its not the most exciting project, it basically involves writing a
lookup table to translate Linux input key types to [hid] key types.

Hallo!
I have a question about accessing events of multiple keyboards: Is this already implemented in hid ? Because I found this in the
archive:
- keyboard doesn't seem to work at all (keyboard is detected; i get
button-presses; but i do not get which key is pressed: the label is
very empty: '')
Its still alpha, lots of stuff isn't implemented yet. Like that.
If not, is there any other object, which can do that?
(I want to use 2 additional keyboards as a controller - on
linux/debian)Thanks, LG Georg
