By default Windows OS does not distinguish between the connected keyboards. They act as the same device.
The current solution creates up to 4 virtual xbox 360 controllers and feeds them via one or more keyboards (up to 10). The goal is to play any game that supports xbox controllers with different keyboards instead of just one. Any application, which works with such controllers should be supported too.

Run the application, it will ask you to install the built-in drivers. Do it and reboot your PC. If you use Windows XP, Vista or Seven, you also need the Microsoft's Xbox Accessories Driver found at https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/products/gaming/xbox-360-controller-for-windows/52a-00004#techspecs-connect

The User Interface is very intuitive and does not require technical skills.
All keyboard mappings to xbox functions such as buttons, axes, d-pad directions and triggers are fully customizable. This is possible via preconfigured presets. The user could manage (add/edit/delete) different presets for different games/applications/players. The presets are kept in presets.xml, which the application reads on startup and writes on exit. Keyboard Splitter comes with two hardcoded presets called 'default' and 'empty'.
The main project is called Keyboard Splitter. All other projects are build into KeyboardSplitter\Lib folder. The main project loads both managed and unmanaged assemblies. The managed ones are directly loaded into memory. The unmanaged ones are first extracted to user's temp folder and then loaded, using LoadLibrary method from kernel32.dll via PInvoke. This produces a single fully portable executable file (*.exe).
Keyboard Splitter required drivers (interception and xbox bus) are embedded into the exe file and the user will be prompted to install them on first run. The user must install Xbox Accessories Driver if he/she uses Windows XP, Vista or Seven.
