not sure TBH.

all keyboards in windows are detected as the same thing.

 

taran had this problem a while back, maybe watch his vid about his second keyboard (AFAIK he has 4 now) and see how he did it. using lua or something.

I tried following this video, but I ran into a problem; when I input Cyrillic characters into HID Macros (one of the tools Taran used), it refused to recognize it properly, with the character only showing up as a question mark.. However, I tried a program called RightKeyboard, and this one worked! Это хорошо! (excuse my poor Russian; I'm still learning lol)

I am looking at remapping one of my keyboards to a Russian (Cyrillic) layout. I've got a Bluetooth keyboard, as well as a usb one at my disposal. As far as the keys themselves go, I'll just tape some pieces of paper with the letters on top (it doesn't need to be fancy). However, the issue lies with my main keyboard, my Razer Blackwidow 2014 that I want to leave untouched in the process. So in short, I want to change the layout of one keyboard to Cyrillic, while keeping the other one in Latin (standard). Any ideas?

Edit: I should note that the Blackwidow is going through Razer Synapse if that makes a difference

I know you want to keep the Razor keyboard intact, but sometimes you can find keyboard covers for your specific laptop with the right letters. What is the model?

I'm not using a laptop, but rather my main tower. I'm not so much concerned about the physical keys, but rather the software side; what do I need to do to ensure only the one keyboard is remapped?

I don't get it. Just add new language in control panel?

he wants one keyboard to be English, and one to be Cyrillic, both at the same time.
