Either way, you'll be safe to use the "GUID_SysKeyboard" token."

This part is not so clear to me, if I understood correctly then it says u create a new device (which is a keyboard, in this case), does this mean it simulates a keyboard? like there is another keyboard connected to the pc???
the example given in this site reads the key imputs and shows wether key is up or down is there anyway to set wether the key is up or down (aka sending key input)??
Is there any way in vb to simulate a keyboard and send key strokes with it??
Is there a way to send key inputs on the driver level?? <===is this connected to hooking in any way if yes, can u give some guides, sites explaining it in depth??

again any help would be appriciated and 10x ahead...
I said it before, and I'll say it again.

Wanna ask if its possible to send input using DX again?
