I own two displays and one is to run a game (primary.) and the second one sits there and plays videos, but when I want to ALT TAB from a game it does it from the second monitor, forcing me to quit the game and configure it, how could I switch my keyboard back?
PS: I own Actual Multiple Monitors

I am confused as to what you mean but I think you are saying you have some monitors with a game on one and a movie on the other, and when you press alt tab, it opens something instead of the game?

Alt-tab changes the currently 'focused' window, not the open ones. it will bring the window it switches to to the front, and anything that was in front of it gets put behind.

In short, make sure there are no programs behind your game when you...

Did you use the Windows Extend Option to set-up your monitors? If so, You must right-click on your desktop and goto "Screen Resolution" After that Drag Screen 1 to the other side of Screen 2, This makes Windows recognize that you switched your monitors around. Which will make the desired monitor the primary.
