      Hi

      I have the usual keyboard and then a remote/keyboard (GooBang Doo C120) that registers as only a keyboard for configuring, even for the remote part (used with Kodi).
      B, START & SELECT don't register as the same key id's, but the rest do, as you can see below. (Normal Keyboard has been commented out)
      Is it possible to assign multiple IDs to the input name, or specify the device name more specifically than 'Keyboard' so there can be multiple keyboard configs?

      Let me know if I can provide more information to help out.

      <?xml version="1.0"?>
      <inputList>
        <inputAction type="onfinish">
          <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/scripts/inputconfiguration.sh</command>
        </inputAction>
        <!--  <inputConfig type="keyboard" deviceName="Keyboard">
          <input name="start" type="key" id="92" value="1"/>
          <input name="up" type="key" id="1073741906" value="1"/>
          <input name="a" type="key" id="13" value="1"/>
          <input name="b" type="key" id="39" value="1"/>
          <input name="down" type="key" id="1073741905" value="1"/>
          <input name="right" type="key" id="1073741903" value="1"/>
          <input name="select" type="key" id="93" value="1"/>
          <input name="left" type="key" id="1073741904" value="1"/>
        </inputConfig>
      -->
      
        <inputConfig type="keyboard" deviceName="Keyboard">
          <input name="start" type="key" id="1073741952" value="1"/>
          <input name="up" type="key" id="1073741906" value="1"/>
          <input name="a" type="key" id="13" value="1"/>
          <input name="b" type="key" id="1073742094" value="1"/>
          <input name="down" type="key" id="1073741905" value="1"/>
          <input name="right" type="key" id="1073741903" value="1"/>
          <input name="select" type="key" id="1073741953" value="1"/>
          <input name="left" type="key" id="1073741904" value="1"/>
        </inputConfig>
      </inputList>

        no - only a single keyboard mapping is possible. Unless you made some script to change the config etc before launching.
