All global key presses have the same device handle
See original GitHub issueWith the code
GlobalKeyboardHook globalKeyboardHook = new GlobalKeyboardHook();
globalKeyboardHook.addKeyListener(new GlobalKeyAdapter(){
@Override
public void keyPressed(GlobalKeyEvent event) {
System.out.println(event.getVirtualKeyCode());
System.out.println("Keyboard: " + event.getDeviceHandle());
}
});
It gives me a device handle of 0
even though I have 2 Logitech keyboards plugged in (one wireless, one wired). I restarted the application to try again and it still persisted.

You will have to initialize the GlobalKeyBoardHook with the parameter true
new GlobalKeyboardHook(true)
, to enable the new “raw input” mode. Iffalse
is passed, you are still using the old keyboard hook (for legacy compliance reasons). As soon as you “switch on” raw mode, you should get the device ID.Thanks for noticing the typo. I’ll fix it and re-upload a 3.1 build. Thanks.
Well at least I wanted to highlight the severity of minor version 3.1 😉
