Question - Number Pad?

[Eq_Dna]

Ok,
I am adding two new machines to my setup.
I would like to run three machines (all three are i7's with windows 10) on one keypad.
Any suggestions on which keypad is best for this application?

thanks.

This does not work -- at laset if you are trying to broadcast one keystroke to multiple machines. I've tried this with several small keypads and I get kicked off.

I was using 3 of those plugged into different computers broadcasting keys, and I would VERY quickly get disconnected.

Are u doing this for a truebox server? If so, all you need is a vpn for each machine and then you can use the keypad method

if you use a VPN on each of your PCs it will stop the disconnects from spamming buttons because the server is receiving the same keystrokes from different networks.

you can also use hotkeynet which can broadcast keys from a single keyboard to all the computers on your LAN, you can actually get pretty fancy with what it can do... again just use a VPN to get around the instant disconnects.

If your playing on true box just use Imput Director and don't talk about it. can do global hotkeys from 1 keyboard
