Game controller based on second keyboard - looking for solution

[todeskvlt]

I want to create additional game controller based on second numpad keyboard. I found soultion here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/comments/o0a15e/joystick_gremlin_and_multiple_keyboards/h1v8fl5/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

but unfortunately when i'm pressing and holding buttons, they are in "Pulse" mode

 

 

and i need them in "Hold" mode to use it for example as Push to talk. Is there anybody who would be able to help me with ready-made solution to this problem because i know nothing about coding stuff.

Back in time an guy start develop a software solution for use a second keyboard in FSX, but ending giving up due limitations/issues.

Is HIDmacros, that may don't work well in other games, e.g. Il-2:GB series due the keypress timing issue of this game, e.g. Alt+A, game see as Alt+A and A.

Then a guy in DCS forum take the idea... make some progress but seems end moving away - link is now dead, since the related Kickstarter failed.

 

 

 

So make a favor for yourself, buy a cheap (<$10) Arduino Pro Micro flash through USB cable with MMjoy2 firmware and have an up to 128 buttons "PnP" HID controller, or give a look in FreeJoy topic there, with similar features.

 

Or buy a read to use, like Leo Bodnar BBI-64 or DSD 64 Button Controller.
