Re: [pygame] Multiple keyboard
It looks like the serial value changes each time you use a different keyboard. I tried pressing 1 then 2 on one keyboard and found the serial number doesn't change. Interesting. Unfortunately when you input from another keyboard the serial number just seems to increment. With just 2 keyboards I guess this should be a matter of _even_ serial numbers being from one keyboard, and _odd_ serial numbers being from the other keyboard. I'm not sure how you detect the serial numbers from python though. Perhaps someone else here knows more about this stuff.

Re: [pygame] Multiple keyboard
Have you tried the pyHooks module? It can hook the keyboard at what might be a lower level than pygame. I know, for example, that it works whether or not the application has focus. There's a demo script that prints all the info about a given keystroke, maybe there's something in it that differentiates multiple keyboards. Apologies if this was already mentioned.
