2 Numberpads on the same pc?

I couldn't find a discussion about using 2 numberpads on one pc, using them as alphanumeric keyboards.
For example I have a LogiLink IDO120 numpad and a second on an extended keyboard and would like to assign my own keyboard layout for these numpads and use these two as regular devices. Any ideas?

There are few ways of doing it:
the first one is using a software to re-map only those keys;
you might have a dedicated software for it or just download something from the internet.
The second one is using (if avaible) the integrated funtion of the numpad to create macros/binds etc...

But can the remapping software tell the keyboards apart? Normally the same key on two separate keyboards connected to a PC are seen as the same key.

If your two wireless keypads don't require any drivers and don't interfere with one-another, you could perhaps use a USB to USB keyboard converter in-between one of the transceivers and the host's USB port. It allows the codes to be remapped.
You would have to solder some wires and connectors, but that does not require any skill other than soldering.
