I have 2 USB keyboards connected to my PC one wired and one wireless. The wireless keyboard has as laptop-style keypad (i.e. the keypad is overlayed on the keyboard letters. I need to have my wired keyboard set to numlock on so I can use the keypad and the wireless keyboard set to numlock off so I can use the letter keys. Please advise if there is a way to do this. Thanks in advance!!

No simple way to do this. The numlock is set in the bios, this sees keyboards as keyboards whether they are wireless or wired.

Damn and blast, what about some kind of toggle program that could identify the two keyboards seperately and apply different rules to each?? Is that possible?
