Only thing to be aware of is: If you have a CTRL/ALT/SHIFT pressed on one
keyboard, it affects all others... i.e. If you have CTRL+A pressed on one,
and C on another, the PC will "see" CTRL+A and CTRL+C. As long as you are
not pressing two buttons simultaneously it should not be a problem though.
Once upon a time I thought about using 3 USB keyboards, one standard, one
with SHIFT hardwired, and the third with CTRL hardwired.... sadly it didn't
work like that :(

p.s. Happy New Year all....and do I get a prize for the first post of
2003? It is 0043 here in NZ!
