Old USB Keyboard question...

[lumadroid]

Hey all,
I have an old USB keyboard laying around and would like to turn it into a simple drum pad.
The problem with programs like GlovePie is that they change the input of all keyboards, I just want the external one to do that so I can still type on my laptop keyboard.
Can someone help me out?

Seems really tricky to do, but I'll try my best.

yep - it does a bit... much simpler if you have some spare gamepads around that you could use. almost any will work with the right usb adapter.

i picked up a usb gamepad for about 2gbp i think that i used to experiment with.
