Two keyboards at once?

I use my old P4 system for a home cinema/video capture computer.

I have it on a desk near my TV.

What I want is to keep the current PS2 keyboard/mouse that is plugged into it, and add another wireless keyboard/mouse combo for using from a distance.

Will they all work at once with no problems? I know I can connect two mice and they work together, but not sure what happens with two keyboards.

Thanks!
 
Yep I have it for our media server connected to the tv. PS2 keyboard and mouse connected to it with a little 15" monitor. Then I have a Logitech DiNovo Edge with the USB bluetooth dongle so that we can control it from the couch.
 
Sweet. Those DiNovo edge are pretty cool, but I'm going for something cheaper. Will most likely get an EX 90 combo.

Another quick question, do these hardware require special drivers, or do they simply "appear" as a normal USB keyboard and mouse to the OS despite the fact they consist of wireless hardware?
 
The only time a problem might arise is if you try to use both KBs at the same time. 🙂
 
I bought it today. It's got a bit of a lag but its good enough. Doesn't seem to auto power off the keyboard or mouse though, so we'll see how long the batteries last.
