The goddamn quote button crapped on me again, but @ShadowCaptain

I like to use MX red for gaming and Blue for typing.

 

Ah I see just get browns ;) lol

 

but fair enough I see why, though I am not sure windows will allow 2 different layouts on one pc, AFAIK the keyboard does not physically report the key that is pressed, just the position of the key, and windows interprets that depending on the language/layout selected in windows

 

but yeah just set up a shortcut to switch input, then when you change keyboard you can just do the shortcut and switch layout

Do you know of a keyboard that is hardware DVORAK mode or has a fully programmable layout with the keyboards software? No need for keycaps to be DVORAK. I would like to have 2 keyboards. 1 QWERTY and 1 DVORAK. Windows can not set individual keyboards with different layouts I think. So that is why I need a hardware mode keyboard. Or is there a keyboard that can save layouts on the keyboard.

REMEMBER TO QUOTE SO I GET A NOTIFCATION! Add me on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Shroomster/ Review(s) more to come

Why not just use AutoHotKey and run a script that changes between QWERTY and DVORAK on the fly and use one keyboard?
