ABSTRACT:
Multiple keyboards (chord or standard format) are connected in a daisy chain fashion to a computer using only the keyboard port of the computer. The keyboard system has an input connector and an output connecter, wherein a child keyboard system that includes a plurality of keys corresponding to characters is connected to the input connector and one of a computer and a parent keyboard system that includes a plurality of keys corresponding to characters is connected to the output connector.
