I want to be able to use 2 keyboards, but re-assign the values of one of them. Basically I want to be more efficient, use keyboard A normally, while I set up keyboard B to have specific functions. Like pressing a particular key launches a program, or does a specific task. Anyone know of a program like this? I am looking for a similar solution.

That...with this...would work well! Is there a way to have one computer in the house, and multiple monitors/keyboard/mouse in different locations around the house??? That…with this…would work well!

I have two keyboards and 2 mice (2 mouses) connected to my computer. One "standard" pair via the ps2 (round) connections that the family generally uses, and one pair (MS Natural and a trackball mouse) via USB to ease my carpel tunnels. (Vista Home Premium). You only get one mouse track, but as long as you can designate who is operating at the time, there should be no problem. If two people operate the devices the computer sees the garbage in and you see the garbage out, and they may need more than this tool to cooperate. One advantage with the tool is separate mouse tracks, but it may be too easy to steal the keyboard with a left mouse click. I only use the mouse when a keyboard shortcut is not available.
