multiple keyboards

Hello Experts, I've been knocking my head about this, now I'll need your help as well. ;)
I'm wondering if there is some code that can determine if a keyboard is used, which keyboard is it? I have two keyboards hooked up (one PS2 the other USB) and when I start typing, I want to know either by ID, Number, Letter or whatever, which keyboard it's coming from.

I found this example in C#, but I'm not that well versed in it to translate it into VB.net.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I would do flick-flack backwards if you could show me how to capture many mouses movements also.
