As far as I know there is no way to detect which letters are printed on the keys and which letter is printed on which key. In other words: The hardware is generic and only the labels differ from layout to layout. You might use a webcam to.... (uuh.. just kidding ;))
I mean that is recognised what kind of keybord is used, like logitech cordless... So if the information is in the hardware, (eeprom), it can be read.. 7 button mice are also recognised?
But the layout is nowhere to be read electronically. The electronics inside have no idea of what the keys have printed on their faces. The codes that the keyboard emit to the computer are position based, not "letter" based.
If something is realy usefull, or nessesary, it should be made possible, (imho).
Not a big thing to add this info in the hardware itself?
More than what you think, those things are really simple electronically. And you would have to convince all manufacturers. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
