Hello i was wondering if i could use multiple keyboards on my computer i have two monitors the main monitor i use for games and the second monitor for social media while i'm gaming when friends are talking to me and i was wondering if i cold have a keyboard for the game another separate keyboard for the social media at the same time so for example i could be playing saints row row 4 and a friend messages me so then i could pause it and not have to alt tab out of it to talk to them i could just reach over to the other keyboard type whatever un-pause the game and press on sort of thing.
 
Solution
Unless there's a third party software that would manage that (unfortunately I don't know any), then no. Both keyboards would act as the same input for whatever it is you're doing.

Yeah sorry. I do not believe there exists something to do what you're looking for. Most games support being played in "Borderless" Windowed mode now, though. This is what I do most of the time, that way when I Alt-tab or pause to go over to my Facebook/Instant messenger on my second screen, my games don't minimize, and all i have to do is click back over on the game screen and it picks back up like I hadn't stopped.
