I was trying the following: playing a dual-person game on a macbook with one player using the macbook keyboard and one person using a bluetooth keyboard.
This gives the following issues:
Player 1 and 2 on macbook keyboard: 8 keys pressed at once: no problem. Playable but with a slight cosiness problem
Player 1 on Macbook player 2 on BT keyboard: contemporaneity of up to 4 keypresses is just enough, but the BT keyboard signal temporarily locks the internal Macbook keyboard. Unplayable!
Player 1 and 2 on BT keyboard: Only 4 simultaneous keypresses allowed. Unable to let 2 players play on one keyboard. Unplayable!
Questions:
- Is there any way to allow BT keyboards to handle at least 8 key-presses at once?
- Is there a way to disable incoming BT signals locking out the internal keyboard of the Macbook?
